IFC and the Intelligent Exchange of Data |
Traditionally, project teams within the building industry exchange CAD data on a daily basis with planning partners. When working in 2D, much of the information exchanged is lost - in addition to valuable planning time. The IFC format - Industry Foundation Classes offers a multiplicity of information: You work with intelligent 3D-CAD building objects like walls, windows or slabs. These objects contain specific properties and attributes, which give the user a high level of flexibility. As well as the exchange of 2D and 3D-data, the structural relationships between the elements can be easily managed. Thus, the IFC format allows you to reach new levels of collaboration and productivity in the building industry, even with the use of different CAD systems.
As a member of the Industrial Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) the Nemetschek AG has long supported the creation of model-based standards within the building industry. The object-oriented approach to building design will allow for improvement of all the processes involved in design, construction and management of buildings.

The Nemetschek IFC Viewer represents an important component in the Nemetschek IFC strategy. It enables IFC building models to be viewed – independently of CAD or other special software – and interactively explored in VR (Virtual Reality) mode. It is an ideal tool for integrating all those involved in the planning process in a simple intuitive way.

About the Industry Foundation Classes - IFC |
 |
In order to be able to carry out the vision of constant data communication, the IAI developed a basis model – known as the Industry Foundation Classes.The IFC supports the object oriented design of buildings (BIM) and the exchange of intelligent model data - from architecture thru to the different technical disciplines such as HVAC, Structural Design and Analysis, Facility Management etc.
