IFC Export and BIM
IFC stands for Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). This is a standard data model used to describe data for the building and construction industries It is a platform neutral, open file format specification commonly used collaboration format for Building information modeling (BIM). The following Items are exported to IFC:
- Architectural objects
- Custom Properties
- Property Sets
The data is mapped as follows:
