IFC Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC) File Format

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

Key Capabilities of the IFC Format

The IFC format can store a comprehensive range of project data for AEC workflows, including:

• Detailed Geometry: The IFC format captures 3D representations through various entity types, such as solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds, to accurately depict structures.
• Measurement Units: IFC supports diverse measurement systems (meters, inches, degrees, etc.), ensuring precise and consistent data interpretation across different software.
• Materials and Visual Properties: Control visual properties such as color and transparency using RGBA values for accurate representation of materials in the model.
• Optimized Storage: IFC's mapping system allows identical geometries to be referenced multiple times, improving storage efficiency and performance.
• Hierarchical Structure: Organize complex projects with named components and unique identifiers, making it easier to manage large-scale construction designs.
• Building Information Modeling (BIM): As a BIM-native format, IFC integrates building information such as properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry for comprehensive project data.

IFC File Conversion: BIM Interoperability Made Simple

Convert between IFC formats (including IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3) while preserving BIM properties and geometry data using Autoconverter or Automesher Application. Our tools maintain maximum compatibility when exporting to DWG, SKP, STL and OBJ formats, though some IFC-specific metadata may require manual mapping for optimal results in non-IFC conversions.

Easily import, export, and convert IFC files to various 3D formats with full support for custom properties. Try it now and optimize your AEC workflows!

USD Universal Scene Description

Developed by Pixar, is a robust framework for the interchange and collaborative editing of 3D graphics data. It has become essential in the computer graphics industry due to its comprehensive ecosystem that supports large-scale projects.

Key Features of USD and USDZ

• Modularity and Composability: Manage complex USD scenes by composing separate files, allowing different teams to work simultaneously. This enhances collaboration and reduces the risk of conflicts, enabling efficient workflow management in large projects.
• Cross-Platform/Application: Ensures USD data fidelity across different software and platforms, facilitating seamless collaboration in diverse environments. This interoperability reduces the need for data conversion and minimizes errors during transfers.
• Hierarchical Structure: USD files Organize data intuitively, making navigation and manipulation of complex scenes straightforward. This structure simplifies the management of intricate details and relationships within a scene.
