IFC 4.3 EXPORT GUIDE FOR CIVIL 3D A step-by-step guide for generating an IFC specifically for building drainage from Civil 3D. IFC 4.3 Extension for Autodesk Civil 3D Understanding JSON files Configuration Settings Entity Mapping Parameter Mapping Adding additional...
Learn about our use of DataOctopus As legislation becomes more onerous, and clients begin to realise the value of clear and consistent data, monitoring quality has become a significant part of the design and delivery process. Information Management, for the educated...
Welcome to the first in a series of short blog posts that will explain in plain language the allowable values you can enter for COBie field. It is intended to be a quick reference to “delivering COBie”. We want to answer the question of what data to you need to enter...
WHAT IS IT? ISO 19650-6:2025 is the latest addition to the ISO 19650 series, focusing on the collaborative management of health and safety (H&S) information throughout the lifecycle of built assets. This standard, which replaces PAS 1192-6:2018, provides a...
OpenBuildings Designer includes complete integration with IFC 2x3 and IFC4*, including DataGroups for all supported IfcEntities, IfcTypes and necessary property definitions to support the required PSets (Property Sets). This is included in the standard dataset...
As noted previously, consistency is the key when working with IFC. Unfortunately, consistency to the nth degree is difficult to control in a widespread design team. Even if you can agree that each discipline will include certain data, if the parameters are used are...
Consistency is the key when working with IFC. Consistency in terms of how you approach your modelling (which may need slightly differing approaches to a regular “modelling for drawing production” method), consistency in the standards, templates and even the views you...

Export Classes When converting to IFC, Revit categories need to be converted into IFC entities. This is controlled at the top level by the mapping table found in File > Export > Options > IFC Options. The principle is that, for each Revit category, an IFC...
The first in a short series of posts explaining the settings when exporting from Revit to IFC.
Setting up a model and exporting to IFC has been better integrated in Revit 2023 & 2024. In versions prior to Revit 2023 the mapping process requires the inclusion of specialist parameters to overcome problems where category mapping is not suitable….
