Hi all,
I have been doing some testing of the new IFC export functionality and am having problems finding ANY mainstream BIM viewers that can open it. I can appreciate it is IFC 4 Add 2 and not all viewers support that version, but does any one know of anything that does? I really need to be able to verify how non-Bentley products see the exports to use this for project deliverables.
So far no luck with Solibri or Navisworks 2019...
Regards,
Mark
Mark, what you are finiding is not all IFC's or IFC viewers are equal as they may not support the latest schema.
Personally I use BIMvision https://bimvision.eu/en/free-ifc-model-viewer/
but the following other viewers have issues with IFC 4.2 and need updates
Solibri https://www.solibri.com - incompatible mesh objects
Areddo BIM viewer - http://www.areddo.com/ - incompatible schema
STR Vision https://www.strvision.com/ifc-viewer-download/
Regards
Ian

Ian,
any chances to have Item Types mapped to IFC classes when exporting dgn models to IFC? Not sure if this is question for ORD or Microstation...
thanks,

I vote for this as well, we need the ability to add more information to our model!
Even when exporting to DWG the Item types are gone, because A desk is Hexadecimal so you have to create a script that converts the Element ID's and data with excel to make it readable for example in Navisworks.
