Export a Model to IFC

Save a model as an IFC file for use with an IFC-certified application that does not use the RVT file format.

  1. Load the IFC mapping file that you want to use to export to IFC.
  2. Click File tab Export (IFC).
  3. In the Export IFC dialog, for File name, click Browse, and navigate to the target folder for the IFC file.
  4. Enter a name for the IFC file, and click Save.
  5. For Current selected setup, select the IFC setup to use to create the file.

    The <In-Session Setup> option is a modifiable setup which is not saved between sessions. You can configure the options as desired to export the model to IFC. There are 9 built-in setups. These setups correspond to the IFC version options. These setups cannot be modified or deleted, but they can be duplicated to customize the IFC setup.

  6. Click Export.
The resulting IFC file and a log file for the export process are placed in the target folder.
