Software Comparison
This is the start of a page comparing the implementation of Industry Foundation Classes in different software. The main purpose is to be able to understand the differences in the implementation rather than making a direct comparison of features.
Unfortunately different software uses different terminology for the same IFC terms. Here are some examples, please help to expand the list.
| IFC terminology | Example | BIMcollabZOOM | Bonsai | OpenIfcViewer | Revit | Solibri | Navisworks Manage | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IFC Class | IfcFooting | IFC Element | IFC Class | IfcExportAs | IFC Element | Missing? | ||
| IFC Predefined Type | STRIP_FOOTING | Predefined Type | PredefinedType | IfcExportType | Predefined Type | IfcExportAs | ||
| This table can be useful when checking if your export settings are giving you the desired results. |
