Hello,
I’m working on a project that includes a linkable IFC file. When I export the project to Speckle, the linked IFC is not included.
Is it even possible to export linked IFC files along with Revit projects?
Thanks
We don’t yet support uploading linked files as files. Still, from the data extraction point of view, you should be able to upload that IFC separately (upload file via Speckle web) rather than rely on the Revit interpolation and then upload that data as Revit data from IFC to Speckle.
It will depend on the onward purposes you have for that data onward.
We’d be keen to learn more about how linked files are expected to behave in workflows with Speckle; optimally, they exist as separate models not included in hosts for greatest flexibility.
Hello @jonathon,
Thanks for your reply, but I’m not sure if I fully understood what you meant.
So, is it possible to publish a Revit version and then upload an IFC through the Speckle Web interface, so I could view both models together? Is that correct?

Nominally, yes - there may be some gotchas if either doesn’t locate itself well.
How can I add an IFC to a model version that has already been created?
I did not find any option to do that.
Thanks
In Speckle you can add many models to a single project - but it wont merge them - it allows you to assemble them together.
But we may be talking about different things…

Perfect!
That’s exactly what I was looking for.
I never noticed the beautiful button “View all in 3D.”
Thanks!
Unfortunately, the IFC file size is too large.
And .ifcZIP (20MB) is not supported. 
We’ve long had that as a hard limit to protect the free resources layer that every Speckle community member shares.
Support for IFCzip might be something we should consider.
