IFC export
You can export Tekla Structures models as IFC models.
You can export all basic structural parts and objects in the Tekla Structures model, such as beams, columns, braces, slabs, panels, plates, reinforcing bars, pours, and bolts with nuts and washers.
Tekla Structures exports the model objects on the basis of the export settings you define, including the property sets.
The IFC export functionality in Tekla Structures supports the IFC 2X3, IFC 4, and IFC 4.3 schemas. The IFC export functionality has the IFC certification granted by buildingSMART International Certified Software.
Certified model view definitions:
- IFC 2x3 (import/export)
- IFC 4 (import/export)
IFC (.ifc) and ifcXML (.ifcXML) formats are supported, ifcXML in IFC 2x3 only. You can use compressed (.ifcZIP) or uncompressed import files.
