# BEAM IFC for Rhino®

Import and export IFC files in Rhino®

BEAM reads and writes IFC, the open BIM exchange format. Share Rhino models with any BIM tool, such as Revit, Archicad, Solibri, BIMcollab or Navisworks, or bring IFC models into Rhino as a reference.

* **Export** writes your Rhino geometry and BEAM data to IFC4 or IFC2x3.
* **Import** reads IFC4 and IFC2x3 files, with their storeys, types, materials and properties.

Both work on Windows and macOS.
