      1, Go to the file File menu inside Sketchup.
      2, Click Import.
      3, click the drop-down (bottom right) and select all supported types.
      4, Navigate to the IFC file and left-click the file.
      5, Click import at the bottom right-hand side.

      I assume you tried it this way?

        Try viewing the file at...

        Link Preview Image
        Site not found Β· GitHub Pages

        favicon

        (ifcjs.github.io)

        If that fails try the free BlenderBIM addon

        https://blenderbim.org/

        ...then export to .dae

            I intalled the blenderplugin.
            It worked well with the smallest ifc file (582 kb)

            but the most important file is to huge, Blender is crashing (120 MB)

            I can open it in the viewer https://ifcjs.github.io/web-ifc-viewer/example/index

            but I can not convert it into another format.

            There ist a downloadbutton and a dropbox button but they do not work

            what can I do?

            can somebody convert for me?

                can I convert with it or only open it?

                opening works fine with the first one but I was not able to convert it.

                  The first is a viewer only. It's to see if the file will actually open.

                  The second allows you to convert. I was interested to see if the file itself would open elsewhere.

                    second one: installation failed but description sounds interessting. Tried to install different versions, all failed.

                      I'm out of options I'm afraid.

                      Ask your client to export to a different format. IFC can be hit or miss because its not just mesh data and that is likely all you need.

                        My client was able to convert to sketchup.

                        thank you
