Good Morning,
Can someone explain to me what the difference is between a imodel file and a IFC file, please? I assume that the IFC file (when the details have been hammered out) will be a file format that can be exchanged between different CADD software, like Land XML, am I correct? But IFC will be a step above Land XML, it will have more information and intended to contain a 3d model, right? But will it be as detailed as a "imodel", or will it be more or less?
From what I understand the IFC model is still being ironed out between industry and the standards organization, so there are no details yet. I'm just trying to get a better handle on how they compare to one another.
Thanks, and have a Good Holidays Folks,
I hope you found the answer to this. I am trying to figure it out myself as well.
Currently my understanding is that IFC and iModels are essally read-only 3D model file extensions. Just like a PDF is to a word doc.
I beleive iModels are bentley specific, and IFC files are more universal and can be shared across all disciplines.
