Convert IFC

Convert polyface mesh to solid and import / export many 3D mesh and solid file formats including STL (Stereo-Lithography), SKP (Trimble SketchUp), OBJ (Wavefront), 3DM (Rhino), and others.

Autoconverter

Import, export, and convert many 3D mesh and solid file formats including STL (Stereo-Lithography), SKP (SketchUp), OBJ (Wavefront), FBX (Filmbox), STEP (Standardized Exchange), and others.

Automapki Application

Overlay DWG drawing entities on top of public satellite imagery provided by Open Street Map, Map Quest, Open Aerial, or any user defined WMS / WTS base layers.

Autoshaper

Convert mesh to NURBS and import / export 3D file formats with NURBS solid shapes including STEP (Standardized Exchange of Product), 3DM (Rhino), IGES, and BREP, with automatic NURBS surface reconstruction.

IFC Industrial Foundation Classes File

A file format that is widely used in the AEC (Architecture Engineering Construction) industry. It is supported by many software applications, such as Revit from Autodesk or SmartPlant 3D by Intergraph. IFC can store various types of information related to AEC projects, such as:

Geometry: IFC can represent the shape and size of 3D models, using different types of entities such as solids, surfaces, curves, or points.
Units: IFC can specify the measurement units for each 3D model, such as meters, inches, degrees, or radians.
Materials: IFC can define the color and transparency of each geometry component, using values from 0 to 1 for red, green, blue, and alpha channels.
Instances: IFC can reuse the same geometry component multiple times, by creating mapped items that refer to the original shape definition. This can save storage space and improve performance.
Structure: IFC can organize the 3D models into a hierarchical structure, using names and identifiers for each component. This can help to manage complex projects and facilitate collaboration.
BIM: IFC can include generic BIM (Building Information Modeling) data, such as properties, attributes, relationships, or constraints for each 3D model. This can enhance the functionality and interoperability of the file format.

IFC File Converters: Autoconverter and Automesher Application are compatible with IFC, and you can use them to import and export IFC models. You can also modify the custom properties of the IFC geometries, and convert them to other 3D file formats. However, please note that some features of IFC may not be supported by other file formats, and may be lost during the conversion.
