Ifc import
-
my customer sent me some ifc files.
I tried to import to sketchup but import failed.
what can I do?
Any chance to convert to sketchup?
-
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...
If that fails try the free BlenderBIM addon
...then export to .dae
-
Yes I did it like you discribed.
I will try the blender way...
thank you!
-
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 you open the file with this...
Open IFC Viewer
Open IFC Viewer is a professional-grade IFC viewer
Open IFC Viewer (openifcviewer.com)
Also try this...

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.

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.

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
