Some fileformats are more suitable to do the job than others.īut if you need to use an other data-set than your own, IFC is likely to come up It wants to know "this object is a wall rooted here" I believe Bim needs objects classified by type rather than just pure geometry. Movies and games nees low polygon models. We are now seeing more cross compatibility with files like stl and obj but there will always be clear divisions. But with files there is no "out with the old". Various years acad was able to change the way splines were handled for example. ipt file to dxf format you have like 30 revisions to choose from. Some superceded others but programs dont remove them. Various file types were developed at various times in cad history. There are, I think, free viewers out there for ifc files but taking a bim Cad file into mechanical cad just isn't on the list of things a mechanical cad program needs. Converting to a neutral format strips data like appearance, material and history. File extensioms that are software specific hold value. You end up with what is called a dumb solid. Invrntor can open a solidworks file but can't get a lot of the "extra" stuff. All this info in addition to the parametric feature history. A solidworks file can contain an embedded word document, custom properties, costing data etc. The difference is that ifc files are ordered and sorted differently.Įxample. It wouldn't make sense for BIM software to develop mechanical simulation tools.Īt the root and ifc file is a text file.
I'd rather have mech Cad programs develop tools useful for designing mechanical parts. Well certain file types are needed for certain things.
