  • There are many free IFC viewers. Most of them good to very good!

    The thing is that such BCF managers (those that are cloud based) are not free. They cost a bit (5-10 euro /user/month) but in my opinion more than worth it.

    BCF can also be used as an "offline" file format. But that's not really ideal in my opinion. Consider a team of only 5 people all sending back and forth those files that you'd have to import each time. Changes are too big for messing up.

    Concerning implementation in MS/OBD, I have no idea what would be quicker. If it's only a matter of exporting viewpoints it will probably be easier to implement that for DWG or 3D PDF if those file formats support such thing. But when you consider the bidirectional possibilities for other users to send back their comments or their own views I don't think it will be possible with such workflow. This is also why I suggested in the MS Idea to work together with an existing platform like BIMCollab who have done such implementations already for many other BIM software.

  • It was the BCF-viewer I meant. Small coins often topple big things.

    It seems Saved Views appears as Named Views in dwg - which is interesting.

    Drawback is that the Saved View doesn't pick up the highliting of the elements.

    Printing to 3d-pdf also only pick highliting of 'active' clash.
