How to Import IFC BIM files in Inventor ? ​

The Multi-CAD collaboration is facing multiple challenges. The BIMDeX Data Exchange Ecosystem through its proprietary BXF file format offers a simple yet intuitive solution for the Interoperability challenges.

  • IFC Importer for Inventor is a simple way of data exchange through a plug-in/add-on tool that helps to open IFC files from multiple software's in Inventor as Parts (.ipt) and Assemblies (.iam).
  • IFC files generated from various BIM software's such as Revit, Tekla, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, etc. can be imported in Inventor as non - parametric parts and assemblies using the IFC Importer for Inventor.
  • There will be no loss in geometry or any other meta data, all the associated properties would be brought in and the RGB colors as well.
  • The tool supports various industry specific requirements like geometric simplification, parameter data exchange.
  • It comes with multilingual support (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, etc.)

  • Supported Version:
