Open an IFC model in your browser and inspect its geometry and element properties.
This tool runs in the existing application at openbim.sumairghouri.tech. Your model and measurement workflows stay in that application.
General contractors, quantity surveyors, and MEP subcontractors frequently receive federated BIM deliverables exported as .ifc (Industry Foundation Classes - ISO 16739) files from Autodesk Revit, ArchiCAD, or Tekla Structures without holding an active $2,900/year BIM authoring license. Because .ifc files use the plain-text EXPRESS STEP physical file structure (ISO-10303-21), our client-side parser scans entity instances directly in your browser and exports a clean CSV schedule ready for Excel pivot tables.
#EntityID = IFCCLASSNAME('GlobalId', #OwnerHistory, 'Name', 'Description', 'ObjectType', #ObjectPlacement, #Representation, 'Tag')Extracts globally unique 22-character Base64 IFC GUIDs, element class types, and naming strings directly from the DATA section.
Element Count Density = Total Structural & Architectural Entities / Gross Floor Area (m²)Helps estimators verify whether an incoming IFC model is complete enough for automated quantity takeoff (QTO).
Drop your .ifc file into the browser inspector above. The parser reads the ISO-10303-21 STEP entities locally on your machine, tallies structural and architectural classes, and generates a flat CSV file you can open directly in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
IFC2X3 is the legacy building coordination standard still widely used in commercial buildings. IFC4 improves curved geometry, parametric quantity sets, and energy analysis. IFC4X3 extends the schema to heavy civil infrastructure, including railways, tunnels, bridges, roads, and earthworks.
No. The IFC Quantity Inspector uses the browser's native FileReader API to scan the file in local RAM. Zero megabytes of your BIM model leave your computer.
