IFC export
IFC is the open BIM format. Export the project to share it with other BIM tools.
Export
Open the project menu and choose Download IFC. The file contains the walls, floors, roofs, columns and other elements listed below. Levels become storeys.
What maps to IFC
Most architecture elements map to an IFC class. Equipment and context elements are not in the export list in this version.
| Element | IFC class |
|---|---|
| Wall (straight) | IfcWall |
| Floor | IfcSlab |
| Ceiling | IfcCovering (ceiling) |
| Column (straight) | IfcColumn |
| Beam (straight) | IfcBeam |
| Door | IfcDoor, filling an IfcOpeningElement |
| Window | IfcWindow, filling an IfcOpeningElement |
| Opening | IfcOpeningElement, voiding the wall |
| Room | IfcSpace under the storey |
| Stair | Box proxy for now |
| Roof | Flat footprint for now |
What is skipped
Coverings, profiles, terrain, curtain walls and arched walls that cannot map cleanly are skipped. A skipped element does not stop the export.
