New question: how to produce IFCXML with high quality

1. S by shanmama on 15 Apr 2020, edited 15 Apr 2020 #

   Some researchers said that they don't think that Revit produces any good kind of XML output.

   So if I want to find which software can produce IFCXML with high quality?

   This issue has multiple sides:

   Autodesk: Revit IFC export has some issues

   bSI: IFC inherently has some issues, and doesn't provide a clear method to parse IFC to XML (XMI)

   Other tools: That doesn't have a clear parsing method, and most of the time do tricky things

   The issue is in our industry all want to reinvent the wheel, and obviously end up the same

   It doesn't mater it be Autodesk, it be FreeCAD community, it be BlenderBIM community, ...

   Academia is so ahead than the industry but normally they use their assets (findings) for their own advantages to build new opportunities

   For sure in academia, mainly articles from the USA and China (Not European countries, ...) they solved these issues, and even today instead of XML they've focused on JSON-based solutions, etc
