SETTING UP IFC OPTIONS
Before starting an IFC import, it is essential to create a Project-specific IFC import template. This should be a purged company Revit Master Coordinates template, with only the correct coordinate system defined.
For details of setting a coordinate system to an existing grid, refer to:

- Create a new Revit file.
- Select File > Open > IFC Options
Note: IFC Options is only available when a Revit file is open.
- Click Browse and navigate to the IFC Import RTE to set the Default Template for IFC Import.
- If there is a pre-defined Class Mapping TXT, click Load and navigate to the TXT file.
Click OK.
OPENING THE IFC
- Click File > Open > IFC, Select the required IFC file and click Open.
