Open, explore, measure, and analyse IFC building models. No cloud. No subscriptions. Just results. BIM Explorer opens IFC building models and gives you the tools to actually understand them — not just look at them. Load any IFC file from Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, Bentley, or any other BIM authoring tool. The model appears in a high-quality 3D viewport with smooth navigation, realistic lighting, and seven visual styles including a presentation-ready Realistic mode with reflective glass and textured materials. Then go further than any basic viewer: MEASURE Click two points to measure distances. Floating 3D labels show the total and axis breakdowns. Snaps to vertices for precision. SEARCH Find any element by name, type, storey, or property value. Highlight or isolate results instantly. QUANTITY TAKEOFF Extract volumes, areas, and lengths from every element. Sort, filter, and export to CSV for spreadsheets. AUTO-CLASSIFY BOQ One click produces a structured Bill of Quantities. The software automatically classifies elements into trade sections — walls, floors, frame, doors, windows, roof — using built-in intelligence. No setup needed. Export to CSV, HTML, or JSON. MODEL ANALYTICS A full model audit: element breakdown, material schedule, space analysis, property completeness, and dimensional statistics. Know what's in the model and what's missing before the coordination meeting. COMPARE MODELS Load two versions of a model and see what changed. Additions in green, removals in red, modifications in amber. Track design changes between coordination cycles. BCF ISSUES Create issues with viewpoints and screenshots. Add comments, track status. Export as standard BCF 2.1 files that open in Revit, Navisworks, Solibri, and BIMcollab. COLOUR BY PROPERTY Colour the entire model by element type, building storey, or any IFC property. A legend shows each category with element counts. VISUAL MODES Seven model colour schemes: Original, White, Clay, X-Ray, Blueprint, Warm, and Realistic. Toggle wireframe, section planes, transparency, and edge highlighting from the toolbar. Exploded view separates storeys for a layered diagram. MODERN INTERFACE Dark and light themes. Animated camera transitions. Resizable side panels. Minimap navigation. Interactive compass. Command palette for instant access to any feature. Contextual breadcrumbs. Right-click context menus. Built-in user guide. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Your files are processed entirely on your machine using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. No cloud account. No internet connection required after installation. Supports IFC 2x3 and IFC 4. Handles models from all major BIM authoring tools.
