IFC Exporter for SolidWorks

IFC Exporter/Converter for SolidWorks is a simple way of data exchange through plug-in/add-on tool which creates IFC BIM files from SolidWorks Assemblies (.sldasm) and Parts (.sldprt)​, along with the metadata, hierarchy and categories.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?

IFC Exporter for SolidWorks Conversion Features

Expose SolidWorks platform into the BIM environment with easy transfer of SolidWorks model as IFC files to other CAD & BIM software through the customized and safe data exchange solution.

Part/Assembly To IFC

Convert all your SolidWorks parts and assemblies to native IFC 4.0 or 2x3 (.ifc) and (.ifczip) formats

Configuration Based Export

Export based on your desired configuration from SolidWorks to exchange only the necessary components.

Exclusion / Simplification Options

Option to exclude components based on File name, Properties, Volume, Quantity, Tool Box Components, Views, etc.,

IFC Categories

Appropriate IFC Categories can be assigned to all the SolidWorks parts and Assemblies. Rules can be created to easily assign categories.

Maintain Instances

IFC Exporter for Inventor Instantiates SolidWorks Parts and Assemblies for better performance

Support for IFC Measurements

IFC Exporter for Inventor Supports a few IFCMeasurements by which other BIM applications can recognize those measurements based on their document Unit system.

Property Set Creation

SolidWorks Properties can be grouped under separate "Property sets" in the IFC file depending upon the project requirements.

Metadata Information

All the metadata information from SolidWorks can be transferred to IFC, and users have the option to choose the required properties to be exported.

Model Hierarchy

Hierarchy of the SolidWorks model will be maintained in Revit and users have an option to collapse/flatten the hierarchy based on the requirement. SolidWorks Assemblies and Sub-Assemblies will be converted as Nested families in Revit. Users can view the hierarchy in the IFC file in any supported IFC Viewers.

Unique GUID

Option for the user to maintain unique GUID for each component. Users can make it as Static or Dynamic based on the requirement.

Coordinate System Based Export

Option for the user to export the model based on the desired UCS. This will help the user to change the model Orientation.
