Hello, I am trying to Federate a series of IFC models. One of the models units is apparently in Meters. All the other models units are set to millimeters. BIMVision won’t allow me to merge these files due to the differing units. Can anyone please provide assistance on how to get around this? Is there any way to open the problem IFC file and resave the units in mm?

Thanks in advance,

The IFC Merge plugin allows you to merge files with the same units only. It is not possible to convert units for an entire model with this plugin or any other BIMvision tool. This could affect the geometry of the model.
