Ifc import

Rich O Brien

Try viewing the file at...

If that fails try the free BlenderBIM addon

...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)

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?

Rich O Brien

Can you open the file with this...

Also try this...

jo-ke

can I convert with it or only open it?

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

Rich O Brien

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.

first one: I can open it but the grafic look s wired. Not option to export to collada

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

Rich O Brien

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

Out of curiosity, what did that 120mb .ifc become in size when converted to .skp
