== Software applications with IFC export/import capability ==
 
First users have to check whether the software they are using today or in future supports IFC.
 
* A list of '''[[Commercial Software]]''' with general IFC support
 
* A list of '''[[Free Software]]''' with general IFC support
 
* A list of '''[[IFC Certified Software]]''' with certified IFC2x support (or higher IFC2x2, IFC2x3)
 
 
== 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) [http://www.buildingsmart.de/2/2_02_01.htm --> more]

== Discussion forums about the usage of IFC ==
 
* There is a discussion forum on IFC data exchange (''IFC Datenaustausch'' - written in German) on [http://www.cad.de/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=IFC+Datenaustausch&number=446 cad.de]
 
* There is a discussion forum on BIM/IFC Exchange on [http://www.buildersnet.org/ buildersnet.org]
 
 
== 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).
 
* There are ways to '''transfer''' [[IFC into other Product Data Models]]
 
* There are ways to '''export''' [[IFC to different File Formats]]

Autodesk Revit Building 9 provides certified Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) export and import based on the latest International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) IFC 2x data exchange standard. Export of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data from Revit Building received full certification by the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) in November of 2005 for the IFC2x2 Code Checking View that expands the IFC Coordination View to additionally support architectural code checking.
