Warning
Nightly releases are generated automatically from the latest source code and are intended for experimental purposes only. These builds may contain incomplete or untested features, bugs, or security vulnerabilities, and as such, are not for production use. Users should be aware that nightly releases may cause unexpected behavior, data loss, or system instability. Use of these releases is at the user's own risk, and it is advised to have adequate backups before testing. The software is provided as is with no guarantees or support.
IFC¶
IFC is an open, neutral standard developed by buildingSMART International for Building Information Modeling (BIM) data exchange. It enables interoperability between different AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) software. IFC data is typically encoded following the ISO 10303-21 STEP Physical File (SPF), XML- or HTML-file format, but its content (schema) is unique to IFC.
Versions¶
IFC2x3: The most widely used version, with support for basic geometry, topology, and spatial structure.
IFC4: Adds support for advanced geometry, topology, spatial structure, and semantic annotations.
IFC4x3: Extends IFC4 with additional features for infrastructure and building services.
IFC5: This upcoming version is expected to improve support for advanced geometry, topology, spatial structure, and semantic annotations.
Extensions¶
.ifc: IFC-specific data with BIM-specific entries encoded in SPF format
