IFCtiedosto

IFCtiedosto refers to a file saved in the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) format. IFC is an open, neutral data format designed to describe building and construction industry data. Its primary purpose is to facilitate interoperability between different software applications used in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors.

Developed by buildingSMART International, the IFC schema is a globally recognized standard. It allows for the exchange of building information models (BIM) without the risk of losing data or information. An IFC file can contain a wide range of information, including geometric data (shapes and dimensions of building elements), semantic data (properties, classifications, and relationships of objects), and other project-related data.

This format is crucial for BIM workflows, enabling collaboration among various stakeholders such as architects, structural engineers, MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) engineers, and contractors. By using IFC, different software packages can read and write data in a standardized way, avoiding the need for proprietary file formats that often lead to compatibility issues. This promotes a more efficient and integrated project lifecycle.
