Web based ifc evaluator?

M by mpix on 22 Apr 2022, edited 25 Apr 2022 #

Hi,

We have published general national requirements for IFC-models, mainly for architects. I'm planning a browser based evaluator...looking for the general header etc but also looking for certain properties and property sets. If the requirements are not met there should be a simple report. Any ideas of working solutions that could be tweaked for this? I've seen a few during the years but am not up to date right now.

Cheers,

Mats

Take a look at ifc-pipeline: https://github.com/AECgeeks/ifc-pipeline

Hosted version: https://view.ifcopenshell.org/

It sounds like you're looking for a way to audit IFC information requirements. This sounds like a good fit for the IDS (Information Delivery Specification).

One by @ATomczak is https://artomczak.pythonanywhere.com/create/

Another open source one by XBIM is https://www.xbim.it/xids

A more generic approach using BIMTester was prototyped here https://blenderbim.org/bimtester/

Yes, IDS might be the solution. The link from @Moult is a nice introduction to what IDS can do, but validation functionality is at the moment only in python implementation here: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/blob/v0.7.0/src/ifcopenshell-python/ifcopenshell/ids.py

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll get a more programming savvy personto have a look. I see a drag-and-drop procedure as the end user interface.
