Description

Been asked to export IFC files to facilitate coordination on a construction project? Or maybe you are required to provide model based data for asset register.

In this course we'll look at how to successful export an Autodesk® Revit® 2022 model to Industry Foundation Classes....or IFC. Often on construction projects, where 3D models are to be exchanged between organisations, the quality of models exchanged when using IFC are inconsistent, non-compliant and are often to the detriment of the project rather than beneficial.

In this course we'll explore the IFC schema and how it is structured. We'll then go and look at how to set up and export your Revit models so that they comply with this schema and ensure that the correct information and geometry is included as part of the exchange.

  • Architects, engineers or contractors looking to develop their use of models for activities such as clash detection, construction sequencing and quantification
  • Consultants specifying IFC models as a deliverable on construction projects
