Manage the added elements by arranging them in the model's IFC structure by assigning them with a class.

The library provides you with all the assets you need but you can also import any type of 3D solid model created with SketchUp®, Blender® or Rhino-Grasshopper®, directly into the IFC file editor.

Just select the entities to modify in the IFC editor online, start the integration process with one of the well-known 3D modellers, make the necessary changes and see how the IFC format BIM model entities are seamlessly updated.

FAQ

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.

With the usBIM.editor you view the IFC model and create all necessary construction and collaboration documents for presenting your project (graphical content, videos, renderings, etc.).

In detail, using usBIM.editor:

  • get all the necessary graphical content;
  • produce IFC model tables, schedules and reports;
  • create photorealistic renderings, photo-montages and photo-retouching directly from the IFC model;
  • navigate within the IFC model in real time, thanks to Real-Time Rendering;
  • create video presentations of the project;
  • use immersive virtual reality (VRiBIM) to take a virtual tour of the model.

The IFC file does not contain material map information. This means that materials have to be assigned to the various elements in the model manually.

Materials can be applied directly in usBIM.editor, selecting them from ACCA’s BIM object Library or even by creating your own textures.

usBIM.editor takes advantage of AMD's RadeonTM ProRender rendering engine, which allows you to create photorealistic and super-fast renderings without the need for any dedicated software.

Yes. With the usBIM.editor you can use the IFC file to present your project using:

  • working drawings composed of floor plans, elevations, sections, axonometries, renderings, etc.;
  • des rendus photoréalistes;
  • photorealistic renderings;
  • video presentations (thanks to the 'BIM video studio' environment);
  • real-time navigation of the rendered model (RTBIM);
  • immersive virtual reality (VRiBIM) to experience the model, modifying, replacing and inserting objects and materials.

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.

Yes. You can take advantage of the integration with Sketchup®, Blender® and Rhino-Grasshopper® to edit the element geometry in the IFC model. This allows you to create new elements and insert them directly into the model, without leaving usBIM.editor.

Yes. You can insert your own 3D Models to enrich your IFC model, or even use the 3D Models library provided by ACCA.

In combination with other solid modelling software such as Sketchup®, Blender® and Rhino-Grasshopper® you can easily add other 3D model details to the IFC model.
