only BREP is supported for geometry representation

[ManoChanda]

I am new to IFC and BIM world, I am using your IfcGeomServer.exe to generate geometry of IFC objects. But your exe only generated values for BREP. If the ifc model does not have brep, it will not generate geometry values. What should I do ? Do you suggest any other Render Engine ? Why there is a dependancy on BREP representation ?

[rubendel]

No, it does generate geometry for all kinds of representation. Which representation specifically does not work for you? Do you have an example IFC that illustrates this?

can you please see the attached file , I am unable to generate Geometry of this model

[ManoChanda]

will you please find some time to see my problem?
@rubendel thanking you in advance

It loads just fine here (latest version of everything). Haven't looked at the different types of geometry used, but I assume it's not just breps.

Oh I am gettings a few errors in the log file I see, not all geometry is converted successfully

I have attached one of the smaller "intermediate" files, may @aothms can have a look later?

Possibly related to IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell#270 and IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell#282

[ManoChanda]

thanks for reply, but the exit codes are different, someone reported exit code: 255 and you mentioned -1073741819, and here it was -1073741571

[rubendel]

Yeah but I am pretty sure the exit codes are not real exit codes but some sort of overflow or memory corruption.
