How it works

From your IFC file to a shared model

Five steps, and what happens to your file along the way.

  1. Sign up

    Name, email and password. No credit card.

  2. Create a project

    A name, a description and a drawing number.

  3. Import an IFC file

    The import window shows the maximum size before you choose a file. Your browser converts it in a background worker — a large file can take a minute — so keep the tab open until it finishes.

  4. Open the model

    On the left: Model, Tree, Plans, Drawings, Views, Notes and Issues. On the right: Props, Filter and IDS. At the bottom: framing, camera and measurements.

  5. Share

    Invite a registered colleague with a role and a choice of models, or create a read-only link that expires.

What happens to your file

Where each piece goes, from the moment you choose the file.

  1. Your IFC file, on your computer

  2. Converted in your browser

  3. The converted model, in the cloud

  4. Opened by you, your team and link holders

  • The IFC file is not uploaded.
  • The cloud holds geometry and element data: what the viewer needs.
  • Project members, and anyone holding an active link, can open it.
  • A view-only link still downloads the element data: send it only to people who should see them.
  • Deleting a model removes its files from storage.

What you need

A computer with an up-to-date browser and WebGL 2. For very large files your computer's memory matters, because the conversion runs there.
