BLEND to IFC Conversion

Our professional converter make it easy to switch BLEND to IFC - here's how:

  1. Download & Install:

    Convert your BLEND files to IFC format seamlessly using Autoconverter - simply install and launch the software on your system.

  2. Import BLEND File:

    Either click Open... to browse for your .blend file, or drag and drop it anywhere in the application window.

  3. Export to IFC Format:

    Use Save As... to specify both location and filename (with .ifc extension) for your exported file.

BLEND Blender File

The native file format for Blender, the open-source 3D creation suite, is engineered to store and transfer complex 3D assets - including models, animations, materials, and scene data. As an all-in-one solution, it powers everything from photorealistic renders to interactive animations while maintaining Blender’s flexible, non-destructive workflow.

Key Features of BLEND

  • All-in-One Storage:

    BLEND files save everything - models, animations, textures, lighting, and scene setups in one file.

  • Wide Compatibility:

    Works perfectly across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Exports to FBX, OBJ, STL, and more.

  • Smart Compression:

    The BLEND format uses gzip to shrink file sizes while keeping all your project data intact.

  • Always Upgradable:

    Older BLEND files stay compatible with newer Blender versions.

BLEND File Conversion

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application support importing BLEND files for conversion to CAD formats like DWG (AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD). This lets you use Blender-created 3D models in your preferred CAD environment.

Note: Currently, we support BLEND files import only (not export to BLEND format). All conversions preserve model geometry, layers, and object structure.

IFC Industrial Foundation Classes File

It is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) specifically designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC enables seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative projects.

IFC Format Capabilities

The IFC format can store comprehensive project data for AEC workflows, including but not limited to:

  • Geometry:

    The IFC standard captures detailed 3D representations through multiple entity types including solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds.

  • Units:

    Each model component specifies its measurement system (meters, inches, degrees, or radians) for precise interpretation.

  • Materials:

    IFC's material system controls visual properties through RGBA values (0-1 range) for accurate color and transparency settings.

  • Instances:

    Through IFC's mapping system, identical geometries can be referenced multiple times, optimizing storage and performance.

  • Structure:

    IFC organizes projects hierarchically using named components with unique identifiers, enabling complex project management.

  • BIM:

    As a BIM-native (Building Information Modeling) format, IFC stores building information like properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry.

IFC File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application support IFC format, allowing you to import and export IFC models seamlessly. You can edit custom properties of IFC geometries and convert them to various 3D file formats. However please note that some IFC-specific features might not be fully supported in other formats and could be lost during conversion.
