IFC Files / 3D / BIM

I'm curious how often you guys are receiving IFC files for the projects you're working on? (3D model)

At some point down the road we will be adding this as an option to view and takeoff from IFC files. I'm just curious how often you are receiving them today. I hear they are a lot more common in Europe currently than in the USA.

We aren't receiving them, but I've asked Architects if they can provide them for us and some have.

Very rarely - at best we get access to their revit model but any conversion to ifc would be done on our end.

Out of curiosity, if you're going to support IFC, can we also get support for DWGs? We have convinced most civil engineers to provide them at this point. That coupled with single-click on linework would be really sweet.

We have our own internal BIM department. So if we could utilize files exported from Revit into IFC would be beneficial.

Hi Toney, We have a podcast today and I will be sharing some work I (Claude) did with an IFC tool in zzTakeoff.

It starts at 3pm Eastern time on Youtube, you will need to subscribe to our YT channel.

I am making them with EWP Studio. Would be nice to get more out of all that data!

The IFC 3D tool should be released today for the plugin store. There is a video in our YT channel if you are interested.
