XS_EXPORT_BREP_AS_EXACT_SOLID

Category in Advanced options dialog box: Export

Set this advanced option to TRUE to export B-rep objects as exact solids in the IFC2x3 export. FALSE is the default value.

Note that if you export B-reps as exact solids, the IFC file size increases, and the export takes more time.

Tip:

To get smoother edges to the export, you may need to set the advanced option XS_CS_CHAMFER_DIVIDE_ANGLE to 10.

In the following example, on the left, you can see a native type I profile, and on the right the IFC object surface geometry when both advanced options are used:

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
