Hi there, I'm receiving these IFC files from my structural engineers, exported from Nemetschek, and they're killing me.I have a Revit file that I link into the architectural Revit central model, called "Structure". It is also a central file, with different worksets in it one for each type of IFC that I get.When I get these IFCs, I open them up using "open>ifc" from the menu and they open up seemingly fine. Then I select everything in there, copy. I go to the structure central file and hit "paste" and everything is fine - except - some objects - I've noticed it's actually the "compound geometry", like subtracted volumes etc - that don't translate from the IFC-opened file to the Revit file where I paste.

Now I've also noticed that they are easy to see because they don't have black edge lines like normal geometry.

All of these objects, good or bad, are "generic models". The only thing that works is selecting the "grey-edged-object", hitting "edit in place", then selecting the actual geometry and exploding it. Then finish and all over again.This is horribly time consuming and nerve-racking. I am convinced there is a better alternative.My money is on:- a better way to export from nemetschek (but i don't know what to ask for)- a dynamo-driven way to automatically explode all this geometry (but unfortunately I don't know how)- a third party app that "fixes" the IFC so it's right when it gets opened up by revit. What do you guys think?
