Autodesk Translation Framework for IFC Import

Previously many applications in Autodesk used similar but different IFC loaders. This has led to different outcomes based on the application. As a result, the Autodesk Translation Framework is being adopted for IFC import in Navisworks 2025. This brings benefits such as:

• Support for IFC v4.3
• Platform centred approach allowing to get the latest and greatest updates across the Autodesk products.
• 50% decrease in load time compared to the previous v3 version
• Improved geometric fidelity
• Improved large coordinate support

We will continue to monitor and update this framework as new versions become available and ensure we remain up to date on the latest versions of IFC.
