Splitting into smaller files
Large .ifc and .ifczip files are recommended to be divided into smaller files.
By uploading several smaller files it both becomes easier for project members to turn on and off different parts and to download separate parts of the file individually.
Exporting to IfcZip
Some authoring tools support IfcZIP as an option when exporting IFC files.
Example: 3D-model.ifczip
Creating an IfcZip
If your the size of your .ifc file is larger than what can be uploaded, the file can be turned into a .ifczip
To create an IfcZIP,
Compress your
.ifcfile to a.zipfile.Change the file extension from
.zipto.ifczip
Example:
3D-model.ifc
v
3D-model.zip
v
3D-model.ifczip
