Export IFC for BIM pipelines
- [Instructor] Let's take a moment to talk about transmitting your model into Unity at first as your BIM data. With the old standard Revit export methods only the model geometry survives the translation. If you want individual model elements brought into Unity along with their metadata, you need a different path. For most projects that are strictly visualization-focused or involve only simple interaction 3ds Max has some advantages. However, if you need any automated processing or interaction based on BIM data, you need a BIM-focused approach. These metadata queries can range from filtering to grouping to adding complex interactions by category or floor, fire rating, or anything else that's specified in the Revit model. There's some new options available to get the model into Unity with its data attached. But for now, let's get our Revit project exported into IfC, a format that's frequently used for translating between…
