Revision as of 15:34, 24 August 2006 by imported>Justus
A number of commercial software packages support IFC. Most of the systems provide IFC import and/or export as part of their standard package. Some companies offer an online update of the IFC converters, which can be installed and removed independent from the base software (Plug-in, Add-on). There are also third party products that enable IFC functionality for a base system.
The IAI offers a facilitated certification program to interested software companies. This enables a basic level quality control and provides a platform to establish implementation agreements for better IFC support.
List containing some of the software systems that provide IFC support
Tip: There are different versions of IFC (IFC 1.5.1, IFC 2.0, IFC 2x, IFC 2x2, IFC 2x3). In order to achieve a proper data exchange the sending and receiving system should use the same IFC version.
