IFC4 has been an ISO standard since 2013, with + the latest published in 2018. In contrast, other programs are dragging their + feet with IFC2X3, published back in 2005. + - Use Blender to do digital modeling! Blender is an amazing open-source + software that supports the full 3D content creation pipeline that the CG + industry uses. Don't let your designs fall short just because your modeling + tool isn't good enough! + - Create complex spatial structures with multiple sites, buildings, facilities, + bridges, and building parts. In contrast, some BIM tools (uh, Revit?) don't + even allow you to specify buildings. + - Classify any geometry as any IFC type. Just because it is a wall doesn't + mean you should be limited to modeling it in a certain way. Easily change + from one type to another without damaging your geometry. + - Allow BIM objects to instance a shared geometric representations. This allows + you to place the same shape in multiple objects without drastically + increasing your filesize. + - Provide a custom value to any simple IFC attribute of an IFC product. + - Create product types that regular IFC products can inherit attributes from. + - Define your own property sets with control over exactly how the data in the + property sets are stored.
