Archicad IFC4 to GIS software workflow

Hi,

Lately, we've been exploring a potential collaboration with a client who uses ArcGIS Pro. We're looking for the best way to export from Archicad to IFC4 to ensure it includes all the necessary geolocation information.

We've run some tests, but the validation in ArcGIS Pro isn't happening as automatically as desired. We always need to add extra information or adjust manually the location IFC model after importing it.

Does anyone have experience with this that you could share?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi again,

I rephrase my question:

What is your approach to the issue of geolocation in Archicad when exporting IFC4 files to GIS software platforms?

Thank you.

😊

Best regards.
