Open ShareCAD ViewerWhat Is an IFC File?
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is the open standard for Building Information Modeling data exchange. Developed by buildingSMART International, IFC is the neutral format that lets Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, Vectorworks, and dozens of other BIM tools share model data without proprietary format lock-in.
An IFC file contains not just geometry but structured data about every element in a building, walls, floors, doors, structural members, MEP components, and their properties. Opening that data traditionally requires expensive BIM software. An IFC viewer online removes that barrier, making the model accessible to anyone on a project team regardless of their tools.
ShareCAD lets you view BIM models in a browser without installing Revit or any other BIM application. Upload an IFC file, view the full model in 3D, and share it with stakeholders, contractors, or planning authorities via a secure link they can open in any browser.
IFC Viewer Use Cases in AEC Projects
Client presentations
Clients do not have BIM software. An IFC viewer link lets them walk through the building model in their browser during design review meetings without setup.
Contractor and subcontractor access
Share structural, MEP, or architectural IFC models with specialist contractors for coordination and tendering without requiring a BIM license on their end.
Planning and regulatory submissions
Planning authorities and building control bodies can view an IFC model in a browser rather than requiring a specific BIM application for review.
Cross-discipline coordination
When structural, architectural, and MEP models come from different tools, a common browser-based IFC viewer creates a neutral review platform for the whole team.
