Concrete elements are missing from the exported IFC file

Tekla Structures - Not version-specific IFC export
Environment
Not environment-specific

Problem: When I export concrete elements to IFC using the selected objects option, some objects are missing from the file. There doesn't seem to be any clear logic which objects are missing.

Solution: Do not select any rebars in the model view when exporting to IFC. This way you should be able to export all the selected elements. The easiest way to ensure that no rebars are selected is to hide the Reinforcing bars from the Display settings. When you select the option Reinforcing bars on the Advanced tab of the Export to IFC dialog box, all the rebars connected to the selected father parts are exported, so there is no need to select any rebars for exporting separately.

Note:
If you are having problems with exporting Cast-in-place objects to an IFC file, make sure you are using the correct pour object selection. If you want to export the cast-in-place objects as pour units, turn on the Pour view. If you want to export the cast-in-place objects as cast-in-place cast units, turn off the Pour objects selection on the Export to IFC dialog.
