Runtime Import, IFC still not supported ?

Hello everyone,

I am working with IFC files and in an other forum question
(To open any IFC file in packaged application and not in editor - #4 by UE_FlavienP),
it was said that IFC import in runtime will be there, one day.

I just tested (5.4) importing with DatasmithRuntimeActor,
with this :

And nothing (the boolean is false)

Am I doing something wrong ?
Or is the runtime import of IFC not supported, yet ? :cry:

Hopefully someone have the information or can help me,

Have a nice day :wave:

Found solution ?

I presume IFC can’t import directly at runtime. Datasmith runtime format works

Not with ONLY the IFC in runtime, no;

But we managed to :

  • Convert IFC in XML
  • get the data we needed (Type, Location, Forward, Right, GUID etc.)
  • Convert IFC in GLTF
  • Import the GLTF with a plugin (GLTFRuntime)

Everything work in runtime/shipping

I wish it could be simplier…
