Export Rhino to IFC4

To export to IFC4, press the IFC button in the BEAM panel. You will be prompted to choose a directory where the IFC file will be saved.

The exported IFC file contains both the geometry and the BIM data assigned in Rhino, including categories, parameters, materials, and property sets. This ensures that the model can be read by other BIM platforms while keeping all the information created in Rhino.

During export, you can specify whether to use the Internal Origin or a named CPlane as the coordinate system. Choosing the correct coordinate system helps align the IFC file with other models or survey data.

The exported file is a standard IFC4 model, making it compatible with Revit, Solibri, BIMcollab, Navisworks, and many other BIM tools. If needed, BEAM can also export in IFC2x3, depending on project requirements.
