Blender BIM IFC

Under heavy development!

Let's use Blender to create BIM models, because why not?

Features

• IFC4 is a first-class citizen. 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.
