IFC can be used in several DWG based software to transfer model data. It will only contain 3D modelspace data. Sheets and paperspace information needs to be transferred as DWG format as export secondary. Delopments of IFC for DWG is mostly based on the work of the Open Design Alliance. ODA is a non-profit technology consortium that provides AEC software solutions for engineering applications. The results of importing IFC and conversion may vary per product. The result of importing a IFC object is that it either becomes a Solid, Mesh or 'software specific entities' Also, the speed of the conversion proces varies a lot. AutoCAD verticals older then 2019 take a huge amount of time to import 1 IFC file, to the point this is unworkable.

- BricsCAD BIM

Support of IFC2x3 and IFC4 Fast and reliable import and Export

IFC will be turned into mainly Solids (ACIS) with a variety of metadata

IMPORT OPTIONS

EXPORT OPTIONS

EXPORT BASE QUANTITIES

IMPORT PARAMETRIC COMPONENTS ETC

Example BIM import BricsCAD.jpg



- Ares Commander Support of IFC2x3 and IFC4 Fast and reliable import and Export IFC will become "BIM entities" in the software

BIMDEBUG options: RVT support BIMMOVE, IMPORT OPTIONS NO IFC EXPORT FILTERS etc.

Example BIM import ARES commander.jpg



- AutoCAD Architecure - AutoCAD Civil3D Very slow import and export. IFC2x3, from 2020 IFC4 should be supported (not tested yet) IFC hierarchy comes in over several DWG files XREFs ÁutoCAD has a long history with IFC, first platform to started it.
