About Open IFC Viewer
Open IFC Viewer is a robust, open-source tool for viewing and navigating IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) files, commonly used in building information modeling. This software provides multiple visualization options, including a tree view that enables users to navigate the hierarchical structure of IFC models, revealing each node’s attributes. With advanced search functions, users can find specific instances by their type or global identifier and track references across model elements. Open IFC Viewer includes a validation plugin for verifying model accuracy based on schema standards, such as attribute consistency and structural integrity. Users can highlight, isolate, or hide objects within the scene and customize lighting parameters to enhance model visualization. The software’s interactive instance viewer allows users to delve into entity definitions and attribute values as specified in IFC files.

JOIN
JOIN is a BIM tool software developed to freely manage parameters and attributes in the IFC standard. It aims to manage all the information of a BIM model, extracting data in order to take decision in a construction project.
The main features help to manage the Costs (BIM 5D) and Times (BIM 4D) in a construction projects. A 3D viewer is included to help you work with the model and the data.
With JOIN the various players in the AEC sector can integrate the model with economic, technical, temporal and managerial data. These are essential to obtain constantly updated and consistent information at all stages of design, construction and maintenance of the building. The data are synchronized bidirectional between the model, the gantt chart and the costs estimate.
