Question

Export to IFC

We have the requirement to work in a BIM environment, by exporting our 3D models to the IFC format (Industry Foundation Class)

We have both WF4 and Creo2.0

How can I export my assemblies to IFC?

    Any PTC employee willing to comment?

    Hi Ronald,

    If you have something to share...please share it here for the world to see. There's no need for me to send you an email, especialy if this is the first post from you on the PTC Community. As you can tell, I am not interested in any commercial software, just a solution from PTC.

    Hope you understand.

    I'm down with IFC (Yeah, you know me!).

        I have tried exporting my model with the inbuilt IFC exporter. But I could only open it in revit as a single block, which was a big concern. After a lot of research, I tried a trial version of bim-dex plugin. It helped the IFC file maintain the classes and hierarchy inside revit as per my client's requirement. Hope this helps your use case too!
