IFC-Manager

The imported IFC file is visualized in the viewer both in 3D and in the building tree. You can control section pivot points freely, move through the full or sectioned building, and hide or filter IFC elements in the tree while seeing the effect directly in the 3D view.

The IFC-Manager detects IFC classes in the imported file and maps them automatically to Revit categories. Refined IFC mapping also analyzes configurable precision and distinction criteria within selected IFC classes, including differences between room-bounding walls, sanitary partition walls, and wall coverings.

Architects often use generic IFC elements to define building components with flexibility, but this can reduce BIM efficiency when models move into specialist planning. Specific IFC mapping helps planners detect relevant IFC elements algorithmically, map them to meaningful Revit categories, and reuse those rules across projects.

The IFC-Manager controls Revit model generation based on global and specific IFC mapping settings. The resulting model can then be processed further in Revit and used as the basis for SOLAR-COMPUTER calculations for building and MEP systems with discipline-specific tools.
