Archicad has reached an important milestone in 2023 by receiving buildingSMART's IFC4 Architectural Reference Exchange Certification for Import.
IFC4 enhances data exchange efficiency within architecture, reflecting our commitment to supporting seamless collaboration. The schema is undeniably the next big step in interoperability and open standards, and our buildingSMART certification ensures we continue to excel in fostering consistent workflows across different software platforms.
In terms of its technical advancements, IFC4 surpasses its predecessor, IFC2x3, with refined geometric representations, sophisticated parametric modelling capabilities, and a broader range of features to support an array of BIM workflows. This evolution of the standard both responds to the growing complexity of architectural projects and also aligns with the stringent requirements increasingly imposed by public building authorities.
For professionals and firms eager to stay at the forefront of BIM technology, Archicad's latest achievement in IFC4 support is a clarion call to embrace a future-proofed workflow. To explore how Archicad's buildingSMART-certified IFC4 import capabilities can transform your architectural practice, we invite you to delve deeper and learn more about the future of BIM collaboration with Archicad.
