Import IFC Files (.ifc) to Quadri 

Import an Industry Foundation Class file (.ifc) containing an IFC 3D data model. IFC is a commonly used schema for Building Information Modeling (BIM). IFC 3D models can display varying types of geometry in the graphic views, including mesh surfaces and linework. The BIM hierarchy of the schema used to define the 3D model can include a large number of objects, each representing a physical architectural component.

1. Follow the general steps in Import Files.

2. Specify options in the IFC Reader Settings Editor’s Import Settings.

3. Click OK.

4. Complete additional steps in Import Files.

5. Click Finish.
