    Hi
    I have windows 64 bit, I download and unzip the file IfcConvert 64bit Windows.
    Then I try to execute the file 'IfcConverter.exe' with the left mouse button double click. Nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?

    I want to convert an IFC file to a DAE file.

    I am despairing.

      IfcConvert is a command line executable. It doesn't have a GUI (graphical user interface).

      To experiment it's easiest if you create one folder on your hard drive with some IFC files and IfcConvert.exe

      Open your Windows Command Prompt and go to that directory. One quick trick is in Windows Explorer type cmd in the directory path textedit box (the bar with This PC > Documents > ... - click on the right side to turn it into a textbox)

      Assuming your IFC file is named house.ifc you can then type something like

      IfcConvert house.ifc house.dae to get a Collada file named house.dae.

      You can also try IFC Toolbox which uses IfcConvert but offers a GUI https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/ifc-toolbox/9N77PHD2H471
