      Hi Guys,

      Anyone has any thoughts with this issue. once imported everything seems to be slightly out of position. The IFC was provided to me by a client and they don't have access to any other file formats.

      The built-in SU2018 importer managed to import it, however, all the geometry seemed to move with the bounding box making it virtually unusable. I ended up going with sim lab and it seems to have given me a somewhat usable model - though it's going to take me a long time to fix this up.

      Is there a way to reset all the bounding boxes for each component and hopefully the geometry will move back into place. (and not take hours -_- )

      The model files are quite large and confidential so I can't send them though I have put a video up below.

        This is the problem when model has geometry far away from UCS. Correct IFC so all the geometry is close to UCS - do not use absolute coordinates.
