Trimble Connect User Forum

Hello, 
I used to have Tekla BIMsight which can open my XML model. 

I want to exported to IFC so that i can work on it with another programs. 

- I tried to import the XML model to Trimble connect but it cannot open it. 
- the new version of Tekla structures even cannot deal with my file. 

I managed to find Tekla structures 21 ( the old version of 2015) and managed to import the model to it (after converting the model to a TBP file using Tekla BIMsight).

and now I'm stuck with the conversion to IFC 

Tekla structures defines my model as a reference model, so when i try to export it it doesn't !

I draw another columns as in the picture below to check, the program export them and export the grid, but it wont export my model. 

If anyone knows how to solve it i will highly appreciate it, as i need that model for my Msc thesis. 

Regards.
