INQ: Help Needed Configuring IfcTemplate and Mapping Table for Import Process

[Florian-Schaefer-TinLine]

Inquiry description

I’m trying to configure the IfcTemplate and the Mapping table for the IFC import from code in my Revit Addin. Below is my current implementation for linking an IFC file. Using the Importer.

Could you please provide guidance or examples on how to properly configure the IfcTemplate and Mapping table for the IFC import? Any sample configurations or references to relevant documentation would be highly appreciated.

public bool CreateIfcLink(Document doc, string ifcPath)
{
       bool rc = false;

        IDictionary<string, string> options
            = new Dictionary<string, string>();

        options["Action"] = "Link"; 
        options["Intent"] = "Reference"; 

        Importer importer = Importer.CreateImporter(
            doc, ifcPath, options);


        try
        {
            importer.ReferenceIFC(doc, ifcPath);
            rc = true;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            _logService.LogError(ex.Message);
            if (null != Importer.TheLog)
                Importer.TheLog.LogError(
                    -1, ex.Message, false);
        }
        finally
        {
            if (null != Importer.TheLog)
                Importer.TheLog.Close();
            if (null != IFCImportFile.TheFile)
                IFCImportFile.TheFile.Close();
        }

        return rc;
}
