Features

Lightweight

An open BIM application created with IFC.js can weigh less than 1 MB. This allows the creation of web and native applications with almost no impact on the final weight of the application.

Multiplatform

IFC.js is compatible with any platform: web application (frontend and backend), desktop applications (Windows, Mac and Linux) and mobile applications (Android and iOS).

Native Performance 

The IFC.js parsing engine is based on WebAssembly and C++, and is specifically designed to read data from large files as fast as a desktop application.

More specifically...

  •  IFC.js can read IFC files seamlessly.
  •  Easily edit geometry appearance with the power of Three.js. 
  • Generate 3D geometry that runs on 60 fps in a browser.
  • Load multiple federated IFC models.
  • Retrieve IFC properties for reports and dashboards.
  • IFC.js can also edit and write IFC files from scratch.
