BlenderBim - Link Ifc file?
Hey folks, I am fairly certain I have used this in the past and it worked, but wondering now how to link an IFC file into another?
The button is right there in:
Scene Properties / IFC Project Setup / IFC Links / 'Link IFC' button
But once pressed it can't detect any of my IFC files?
Is there a step I am missing? Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Here is the ifc showing in the folder in windows explorer:

Unintitively, I believe it's the blender file... I think you need to maintain the blender\ifc connection.
Thanks Theoryshaw I completely forgot it worked that way, was just reading it here aswell:

Doesn't this break the Ifcness of it all? the link is just a physical reference and can't be used as an instance or anything
It absolutely is the blend file, it worked here:
Unfortunately on reload of the main IFC file the link seems to be forgotten
I see 'typical unit', up there.... maybe you want to explore using aggregates.
See https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/3101#issuecomment-1558264231
Only problem currently, however: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/3186
... and duplicating an aggregate within an aggregate, too, would be nice, as well: https://community.osarch.org/discussion/comment/15536/#Comment_15536
