Export to IFC

OleSeidel1 — Sat, 05 Feb 2022 09:14:53 GMT

I need to export 3D data to IFC.

For example I created 3D buildings from drone imagery and now I'd like to give this data to an AEC company which is using Revit or ArchiCAD.

Or I generated a topo surface or elevation iso lines which I want to export to a 3D CAD environment.

It looks like the Data Interoperability extension supports writing to IFC. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-data-interoperability/supported-formats Can you check me on that @BruceHarold ?

That is correct.

Hello @OleSeidel1

Thank you for posting this Idea! As Kory and Bruce could confirm, one can write to IFC using the Data Interoperability extension. Would this work for you, or would your Idea request to integrate this functionality into ArcGIS Pro, outside of an extension?

Hello @Oberbossel and @OleSeidel1

Here is an example of of FBX to IFC 2x3, but the principle works for fGBD (multipatch)
