How the IFC Building Viewer Works

IFC building viewer: explore supported file formats, viewing limits and open-source credits. Your files are never uploaded.

Viewing architecture

A cancellable web-ifc Worker reads building geometry for the shared 3D viewport and first-person walkthrough controls.
  1. 1Geometry is scaled to meters; placements, colors and component names are preserved.
  2. 2The model stays in your browser. Runtime assets load only when IFC is opened.

Main limitations

  • — IFC2X3, IFC4 and IFC4X3_ADD2 text files only; geometry support depends on web-ifc.
  • — No property tables, textures, collision detection or BIM validation.
