exporting a 3-d model

[Andrew Mac]

Hi there-

I have a client requesting a 3-d model export of our 4 story building.

I have export it as IFC but it seems there is no way to check with a viewer of sorts to see if the translation came across correctly.

IS there a way to check?

Also I am exporting each design layer, foundation layer, then the first floor layer, etc... I am the top view in the design layer when exporting.

Not sure if the person on the other end can then line up akll the layers correctly.

 

Does anyone know a simpler or more precise way to export the whole model?

I am not exactly sure what the recipient will be using on the other end for software to work with.  I believed they want to hire someone to do a super high-end rendering

Hi, for a viewer I can recommend bimcollab zoom or the openifcviewer from oda.

 

In general I would say that your clients request for a 3D model is very broad. You have to ask them what their use case is. Do they just want to have a nice rendering or do they want to have a walkthrough model like you could generate with vectorworks service select cloud.

 

Regards!
