IFC interface

In IFC files, components are often described as boundary representation (BRep). Dur to this fact and certain opening shapes, components are often interpreted as general 3D bodies. This leads to restrictions in further processing and evaluations.

Allplan 2021 extends the analysis of BRep geometries and openings during IFC import. As a result, you can create a greater number of native Allplan components with or without openings, such as walls, ceilings, and columns. This significantly enhances the quality of the imported IFC models.

When exporting IFC data, you can choose to export objects as extrusion models as usual – optionally with support for free geometry (NURBS) – or as BRep geometries.
