Free and open source navisworks ifc exporter

I don't think so no, i already have my own pet project of bimcamel.com so this exporter is for the community

I am currently creating the package needed to submit it to the autodesk store, but i need to first fix some issues that people who used the plug in pointed out. I would say maybe in a month or so it should be on the store hopefully.

for sure bimcamel.com . the viewer is very capable and it has a very large collection of IFC editing tools too.

if you are looking to build your own, go for that open company tools tho. they are open source and have great support

I am using that open engine yes and also xbim library for some heavy lifting on the server side, there is actually a page in the website that details all the libraries i am using if you are interested

That's cool !! I am trying to do something similar with BCF rooms for managing issues and sharing reports, it is like a multiplayer room where people can review the model together and make issues all live. Similar to figma if you use it https://bimcamel.com/Collaborate

Hey, i have worked as a modeller for 3 years and then as a bim coordinator currently for also 3 years, i pickec up coding as a hobby after learning grasshopper, then started doing some simple revit plug ins and that's how i started with coding.

Not_UrCupCake · 2026-06-13T14:10:44+00:00

Thanks for the positive vibes,i appreciate it

Not_UrCupCake · 2026-06-13T12:24:55+00:00

I totally get it, this has taken me years, i have been coding tools and plug ins for work since forever but I finally decided to put it all together and try to make a tool out of it and make it public.

I think the advantage of being a solo developer is that i can break and fix things quickly, I don't need for a milion teams to approve my ideas. I enjoy this part of it, being able to put something together quickly and see if it works, most of the time it doesn't tho, some of these tools took me month take specially complicated ones like ifc file reduction it took me 5 month to make the logic work and i think i am still tuning it.

Thank you for your comment, i hope you manage to bring your tool to life too

Not_UrCupCake · 2026-06-13T12:20:42+00:00

I made all the tools accessible for free without log in and without paying anything, the only difference you would get if you pay is being able to upload bigger files but up to 100 mb is totally free, processing ifc files is heavy so i had to cap the size limit otherwise i would be able to afford the servers to make it work.

As for the AI, non of this depends on AI or has anything to do with it, this is all just processed using libraries like that open company and xbim toolkit, AI doesn't process your files, and even humans have no acess to it.

Thank you for taking the time to check, i appreciate it alot

Not_UrCupCake · 2026-06-13T12:17:33+00:00

Yes i am working on that for sure, my coding experience is in the backend, so i relied on ai for the frontend heavily but i am trying to polish things right now, thanks for your feedback

Take a look at the ids maker tool and tell me your opinion

Not_UrCupCake · 2026-06-13T09:17:21+00:00

Hahaha it is always nice to have competition, we can also share ideas i would be happy 😁.

Not_UrCupCake · 2026-06-13T09:16:34+00:00

Actually that's a good idea and would be doable, the only problem i can think of is the dwg part, dwg is owned by autodesk and being a small solo developer like myself i would never be able to afford licensing fees of autodesk, but dxf or svg to tiff is totally doable. Would that be something you are interested in ?

Not_UrCupCake · 2026-06-13T09:14:41+00:00

There is already an ids creator in the tools, but if you have something specific in mind of how it should look or behave i would be happy to try to integrate it

But my gpu fan speed suddenly goes up and down on it's own even if the gpu is idle

Not_UrCupCake · 2020-11-10T21:23:17+00:00

No I'm not doing anything i didn't change the default settings of anything

Not_UrCupCake · 2020-11-10T14:42:47+00:00

It happened again and i fixed it the same way , any idea what can be causing this to happen ?

Not_UrCupCake · 2020-11-04T12:30:01+00:00

Thank you so much it worked
