The following is a summary of the commands and functions that are affected by the management of the IFC model and data (in the event that the IFC Add-On has been installed).
Note: To handle IFC, the IFC 2x3 Add-On is automatically inserted into the ArchiCAD environment during ArchiCAD installation. The IFC add-on is updated with each ArchiCAD Hotfix. However, it is possible that the Add-On is updated between ArchiCAD Hotfixes. Check the latest available IFC add-on release at: http://www.graphisoft.com/support/ifc/.
