Units of Translated IFC files has changed?

Viewed 39

Recently (week 22),we noticed that translated IFC files have a different unit than previous versions.

viewer.model.getUnitString()

We use the BIM360 docs translation so we don't know if anything changed there. Previously every IFC file translated to a unit in "ft", regardless of the originated software or settings.

Currently it is in the originated IFC unit (which is obviously more correct).

Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, BIM360 will use native length units from the IFC file now when uploading a new file that there is no existing version in Docs, as I know. We will share more details later. Please stay tuned with us.
