"IFC Import Settings" (default) dialog box

Import IFC Data function / IFC Import Settings (advanced) dialog box

You can use this dialog box to specify default settings for importing IFC data. IFC 2x3, IFC 4 or IFC 4.3 formats are supported here. The respective format of the IFC file to be imported is automatically recognized.

In addition, Allplan also provides pre-defined exchange profiles for IFC files created using Autodesk Revit or G&W California.

Note: Where required, you can also specify additional custom settings by expanding the dialog box using the Settings button (see IFC Import Settings (advanced) dialog box).
