Description
### Problem Description
We collaborate with a 3rd party that uses Tekla. When we link their IFC4 model to Revit, many points suddenly appear. These are related to the actual geometric objects (Direct Shapes). These points are distractingly visible in our own model.
When I open the IFC file, the points disappear. But opening the IFC file causes other geometric issues.
This problem appears to be resolved in Revit 2026. However, for this project, we still need Revit 2024.
I will email 1 of the problem IFC files to ifc-github-support@autodesk.com.
### Revit Version
2024.3.x
### IFC for Revit Addon Version
24.3.2
### Windows Version
11 25H2
Contributor guide
Research direction
No repository file, test, or code entry point is identified. Start by obtaining the problematic IFC4 file and reproducing the link in Revit 2024.3.x with IFC for Revit 24.3.2; done means the extra points no longer appear while the other geometric behavior remains correct.
