  IFC Engine Viewer

Description
The third release of the free IFC Engine Viewer is available. This free IFC viewer is internally an advanced content mapper based on internal queries, the 3D view is the real-time direct map of the data in the file. The advanced version enables users to define their own mappings for example for specific viewing requirements/wishes, but is also used for calculation 4D/5D view and IFC file editing/merging capabilities. If such capabilities are required for your project don't hesitate to ask us for the advanced version (see also DLL section) of this IFC Engine Viewer.
