Advanced IFC editor

The IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is an open data format, not controlled by a single operator, created to allow interoperability between the various actors in the building process. It aims to allow the interchange of an information model without loss or distortion of data or information. It contains various types of information (geometric data, properties, relationships with other objects).

Il contient des informations de différents types (données géométriques, propriétés, relations avec d'autres objets).

You may need to modify an IFC file for several reasons:

• need to change, add or delete some entity properties (e.g. change the transmittance value of walls because of errors or because of a design variation or changes in the surveyed de-facto situation);
• need to add, move, modify or delete objects from the IFC model without going through the BIM authoring tool (e.g. delete a wall that has been removed in the works variation project, or a change in the position of furniture, etc.).

Because usBIM.editor allows you to open, view and edit IFC models by operating on the geometry and properties of each individual entity. In this way, you work directly on non-proprietary open formats and without the need for specific BIM authoring.

usBIM.editor is also a model viewer:

• open IFC files created by any BIM software;
• view and navigate the model;
• edit, delete, replace and add objects and properties;
• import and export property templates in the Excel format;
• export the IFC model with all modifications integrated.

With the usBIM.editor you can edit both the geometry and the IFC file entity properties.

This is thanks to the two dedicated environments in the software:

• BIM model - you can make changes to the geometry of elements, insert new models, assign materials;
• Editor IFC - you can edit, delete or add information to the model entity properties.

Yes, after editing your IFC with the usBIM.editor, you can export the file and generate a new IFC that retains all the changes made.
