Hello is there any example of how to use API to view and get values from IFC file, please? Thank you.

Hi kro,

the BCF API itself is not a BIM or a Model API itself. That means it doesn't specifiy ways to access model data itself.

There are, however, features to link issues and models. One would be the File Services, to link specific IFC files to topics. The other, Viewpoint Services is for model information related to an issue, e.g. selected components or viewer settings.

Hello OK could you please tell me is it possible to create software which will display specific IFC file in the web-browser and to interact with the clicked objects using events? If yes, I'm interested and please tell me about price. You can contact me by email. Thank you.

Hi kro,

there absolutely is software to do that. For example, I've set up a demo that's using the open source xBim libraries in an Asp.Net Core backend to convert and display IFC files in an Angular frontend. I've made the source code available for the demo on GitHub.

I'm marking this issue as resolved, please just reply if I should reopen it.
