In the Naviate Bimfire template, a 3D view is preset which can be used to export IFCs.

 

  1. Before exporting, turn off linked model in the view. This is not necessary for the export but it will give a clearer view of what the export will look like.
  2. Control what will be exported via the model category tab.
  3. Go to export IFC
  4. Go to Modify setup ...
  5. Create a new setup. Read the BIM execution plan on which Coordination system to be used and which IFC version. If nothing is mentioned, use Coordination Base: Project Base Point and IFC 2x3.
  6. In Addition Content, select Export only elements visible in view, and export spaces. This gives the user control over which objects should be exported.
  7. Naviate Bimfire recommend exploring using user defined property set, adapt the file if it is required in the BIM execution plan. 
  8. Choose which location and file name to save the file, recommended to save it in an export folder with the dates in its name in the project model folder.
