IFC Export without BI Essentials

Hi everyone,

 

BI Essentials for Export

Is there a way to export a Catia model to IFC without analyzing the model with BI essentials first? 

 

I am experiencing that especially with larger models (buildings), it takes ages before the export window finally launches, because it is first analyzing the entire model with BI essentials to highlight which items are included,

 

But once the Export UI is loaded, the actual exporting to IFC doesn't take that long.

 

For me personally the BI essentials visualization is not interesting at all, so it would be great if there is a way around it,

 

IFC Batch Export

I have been experimenting a bit with Batch Export, but this exports the entire Site containing eveything in the model, In my case this included third party models that I don't want to export. 

With the regular exporting I also have the option to unload or hide items, which will then not be part of the exported IFC. I don't think this is possible with Batch Export though. Unless there is the possiblity to apply filters in some way.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can speed up the IFC export process?

 

Thanks
