Ifc-Export is a very dry and boring technical topic, that, at least in my case, had a long, long learning curve.

ArchiCAD offers computer aided solutions. The structual engineer needs only the load-bearing walls as IfcWalls, the hvac engineers need mostly IfcSpace and for energy analysis you need to have one IfcWall with the different components as IfcMaterials and IfcSpaces (Eventhough here most BIM-Software is lacking in so far as you need, I think, at least 3rd level space boundaries for proper energy analysis) ArchiCAD is an architectural BIM CAD software for Mac and Windows developed by the Hungarian company Graphisoft. If your software kind of manages to transform it into some native objects, good, but it's not a given.Įvery use case has different demands for the ifc model. They are mostly for referencing, hence "Reference View".

That was never the intention so far with either IFC2x3 or IFC4. People always expect it to turn automatically into a native format, no matter if they use Archicad Allplan, Revit, etc. There is just to much expectation linked to it. On the topic of Ifc-Export, my experience was that we have a decent export.

And I am always puzzled by their devotion. Nevertheless it seems some companies manage to elicite more excitement and brand loyalty than others, e.g. PDF files about 267 BIMx Hyper-model 268 printing 267, 268 saving 267 photography, basics about 285 aperture size 286 depth of field 286 exposure value 288. These are tools and we are not married to them nor bound to loyalty.
