  There are a number of user guidelines, documentatíons and learning examples that support the architect, engineer or other users when exploring the use of IFC enabled software solutions.

IFC Users should know the following things

     

Software applications with IFC export/import capability

General information about the use of IFC data exchange and sharing

  • There is an BIM/IFC user guide (IFC Anwenderhandbuch - written in German) describing the use of Building Information Models in the area of architecture and building services (including test files) --> more
  • There is an Information Delivery Manual (IDM) --> more
  • There is an Exchange Guide for Five of the major 3D CAD applications, a full Danish version is available --> more and an English summary Download

Guidelines on IFC capabilities of commercial software systems

Discussion forums about the usage of IFC

  • There is a discussion forum on IFC data exchange (IFC Datenaustausch - written in German) on cad.de

Methods and tools to convert IFC data files

IFC data files can be converted into a different representation (e.g. IFC data files into ifcXML data files), into other product data model formats (like CityGML), or into file formats of other applications (like KML for Google Earth).
