We therefore recommended using the dedicated tools offered by the software used to produce the digital model ("wall" tool, "slab" tool to create slabs or floors, "roof" tool, etc.). For example, if the structure includes columns, they should be described as objects in the column class ( IfcColumn).

Select Export General, IFC 2x3, COBie 2.4, and in "data conversion", select "All BIM data".Interoperability -> IFC -> IFC translators,.Procedure 2 (as appropriate, depending on Archicad version).Select or configure a translator that exports the base quantities (IfcBaseQuantities) => "COBie 2" for example.Procedure 1 (as appropriate, depending on Archicad version).Many software applications can export in IFC format, such as :.This option allows the measurements of objects (volume of walls, area of rooms, etc. Generate the IFC file using the “base quantities” option in the IFC export parameters.

Export the BIM in IFC format (versions Ifc 2x3 or Ifc 4).To perform a life-cycle analysis of a building, COCON-BIM uses a digital model (BIM) exported from a 3D drawing application.įollow these main recommendations for producing easy-to-use digital models : Accueil > On-line help > Importing a digital building model (from Archicad, (.) Importing a digital building model (from Archicad, RevIt, ArchLine, FreeCad, Cadworks, Sketchup, etc.) with COCON-BIMįor ease of use and to facilitate exchanges between different software applications and users, a digital building model (BIM) has to be entered in line with a few basic principles.
