# 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.
