IFC compatibility
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) compatibility refers to how well different software programs can share and understand building and construction data. When software is IFC-compatible, it means they can exchange detailed information about building models, such as dimensions, materials, and systems, without losing accuracy or needing manual re-entry. This encourages collaboration among architects, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders, ensuring everyone works from the same information. IFC compatibility fosters interoperability, reduces errors, and streamlines project workflows, making it easier to manage complex construction projects efficiently and accurately across various software platforms.
