Export to IFC5 from iModel

With the introduction of IFC 5 and the growing adoption of Universal Scene Description (USD), there is a unique opportunity to enhance the management of large-scale infrastructure models. IFC 5 will bring modularization, language independence, and improved consistency, while USD offers cutting-edge capabilities for complex 3D visualization and collaboration. Enabling export to IFC 5 and USD from iModel will empower users to manage data more efficiently, collaborate seamlessly, and future-proof their workflows in alignment with emerging industry standards.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Interoperability: IFC 5’s modular structure and multi-format representation (e.g., JSON, XML) ensure compatibility with a wide range of tools, fostering collaboration in multidisciplinary projects.

• Advanced Visualization: USD enables highly detailed and interactive 3D visualizations, improving communication and understanding in large infrastructure projects.

• Efficient Data Management: IFC 5 and USD together streamline handling of complex models, reducing errors and enabling better decision-making.

• Future-Readiness: Aligning with IFC 5 and USD prepares users for technological advancements, ensuring long-term sustainability and competitiveness.
