When Importing IFC File, It Registers Measurements in Meters When it Should be in Feet

Hey there! I have an IFC file where I have a wall that is set to 10 feet long.

When I import it into speckle, though, it shows the wall is 10 meters long.

Here’s the IFC File:

Here’s the speckle link:

https://app.speckle.systems/projects/5c87fc5cbd/models/4131f27fac

When importing into 3dviewer.net, it measures properly at 3 meters, instead of 10.

Thanks for providing the sample file, we’ll look into this!
I’m not an IFC expert, but a possible source of confusion could be: measureme.ifc · GitHub

When opening in Solibri we see the results shown in the attached file. Is this incorrect?

Hi @zicklag did you see our announcement, The next-gen IFC importer has been deployed on app.speckle.systems.

You should find it now correctly handles non-SI units (correctly converting the data all to meters)

You should be able to simply re-upload your other files. Please let us know if you have any issues.
