Create an XML File of the IFC Model

You can create an XML file from the IFC model imported into the building, and use the file, for example, to compare IFC models.

Do either of the following:
  • Select the function in the object tree

    Open the External models branch of the object tree and select the IFC model (ifc file). Right-click and select Create XML File.

  • Select the function in the building model

    Select an object in the IFC model. Right-click and select IFC Model > Create XML File.

The XML file is stored in the building folder. The name of the file is the same as the name of the IFC model.

You can compare XML files using a file comparison program.
