Welcome to the IfcOpenShell wiki!

IfcConvert F.A.Q.

Q. How can I output geometry and spaces?

A. IfcConvert excludes spaces and opening elements by default. --include --entities IfcSpace means "include only spaces". In order to get regular geometry + spaces, use --exclude --entities IfcOpeningElement.

Q. I'm trying to output SVG (2D floor plan), but the conversion fails

A. SVG output includes only spaces by default so your IFC file is probably missing them. Use e.g. --include --entities IfcWall to generate output with walls.
