Preferred Profiles for Import

A new profile For Design is available to import IFC data.


For Design is also available to filter data.

Benefits: You can import the data in a lightweight model, and keep the exact geometry and the IFC attributes. All the products are grouped under an AEC Feature. The geometry is a volume, and the feature is a volume feature.
