IFC to OFF - Lightning-Fast and Precise IFC Conversion

IFC to OFF Conversion

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

1. Download & Install:

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

2. Import IFC File:

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

3. Export to OFF Format:

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

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.

OFF Object File Format

A straightforward, human-readable file format designed for representing 3D polygonal models. As a lightweight alternative to complex CAD formats, OFF focuses on storing essential geometric data - vertices, edges, and faces - without proprietary constraints.

Key Features of OFF

• ASCII Text Files:

  : OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.

• Polygonal Shapes:

  The OFF format allows to store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.

• Limitations:

  OFF files support only geometric data - materials, textures, and group names from source files are discarded during conversion.

OFF File Conversion

Our software offers two specialized approaches for OFF file conversion. Autoconverter handles conversion of OFF files to common mesh formats including STL, SKP, OBJ, and PLY, maintaining the original polygonal structure. Autoshaper provides advanced conversion of OFF polygonal data into smooth NURBS surfaces, exporting to BREP, STEP, and IGES formats for CAD workflows.
