IFC to COBie #15

Open I-Sokolov opened 6 years ago

I-Sokolov commented 6 years ago

What tools can be used to convert IFC data to COBie speadsheet? From 5 years old experience I remember BIMServer and Bentley AECOsim Building Designer but now looking for simple standalone utility. Is there something new these years?

@I-Sokolov,

We have a project that does this in the Xbim toolkit, it's part of the Xbim.WindowsUI.DPoWValidation user interface. It has been developed for the Digital Bim Toolkit of the NBS a couple of years ago and I've tidied it up a bit just a couple of weeks ago. If you are familiar with visual studio you can compile from https://github.com/xBimTeam/XbimExchange, however be sure to use the develop branch, I've not merged to master yet.

Another option is to use XbimXplorer, it does have a cobie export plugin.

It would be fairly simple to create a command line tool, if that's what you are after.

Happy to help further if you need. Best, Claudio

Thanks Claudio, I am just looking into XBIM

Just drop me a line if you are having troubles; I'll be working on the documentation in the months to come and understanding the problems people face would be of help. Best, Claudio
