A Study of “Industrial Foundation Classes” for Create Building Model using FreeCAD Program.

Abstract

BIM has been being applied to the construction project by using an IFC file. The data exchange in the form of an IFC file can be created or exported by using various applications. The purpose of this study is to create an IFC file on open source program, or freeware. We have studied the structure of IFC files that are generated by FreeCAD and ifcOpenShell. Then we have sought the approach for IFC files management on Solibri Viewer or BIM Vision. In the basic level, the results show that parts of building can be exported as an IFC file.
