In addition to supporting IFC‐based workflows, implementing other ways of BIM data communication such as gbXML and direct export to PHPP means that designers can exchange data with engineers and consultants from numerous disciplines, without the risk of information loss. As an example, the inventor of COBie has confirmed that ARCHICAD is 100% COBie-compliant – that’s good news for architects in the US, UK, and all other English-speaking countries. Support of national BIM standards and classification-systems is also available in exchanging information with other parties. IFC 4 defines new coordination methods (Design Transfer View and Reference View) to standardize reference model-based and parametric model-based interoperability between different disciplines. Share Geometry and Data with the Latest Technologies.ĪRCHICAD 20 has improved its current IFC- and BCF-based OPEN BIM workflows by exporting color-true precise element geometry, implementing survey point (national datum definition), enhancing property management and mapping, sharing physical properties of building materials, etc.ĪRCHICAD 20 is among the first BIM applications that support the open-source IFC 4 model exchange standard.
