TYPA · IFC WORKSPACE
Your IFC models, in the browser.
Open, explore, measure and share BIM models without installing anything. Free.
Conversion runs on your computer: your IFC file is not uploaded.

How it works
Three steps from file to model
Create a project
A project holds the models of one drawing set.
Import the IFC
Your browser converts it once. What goes to the cloud is the converted model, a small fraction of the file.
Explore and share
Sections, plans, measurements and checks. Invite colleagues, or send a read-only link.
Features
What you can do
Several models in one scene
Architecture, structure and services side by side, each switched on and off on its own, with a check that they line up.
Tree, types and properties
The spatial structure, every IFC class in the scene and the property sets of each element.
Plans, elevations and sections
Generated from the model: a plan per storey, the four elevations and a section on any cutting plane.
Dimensioned sheets in DXF
Technical drawings with layers, scaled viewports and annotations, saved as DXF.
Measure, filter, check
Distances, areas, angles and volumes; filters by class and property; IDS requirements run against the scene.
Notes and BCF issues
Notes pinned to elements and issues with status and comments, shared with the whole project.
Your file
Your IFC stays yours
What happens
The IFC file is converted inside your browser, in a background worker. The cloud receives only the converted model: geometry and element data, for viewing.
What it means
TYPA keeps no copy of your IFC file and cannot give it back. Keep the original where you keep your project files.
Open standards

Who it is for
For everyone who receives an IFC file
For the people who have to read models, check them and discuss them:
- Designers in every discipline: architecture, structures, building services, infrastructure, safety
