How do I convert an FBX file to IFC using LetsConvert?

Open LetsConvert, upload your .fbx file, pick IFC as the output format, and click Convert. For best results, use the mapping panel to assign FBX node names to IFC element types such as Wall, Slab, or IfcProxy. After processing, the IFC file will contain the same object hierarchy and geometry.

Why convert from FBX to IFC?

FBX is a DCC asset format used in 3ds Max, Maya, and game engines, while IFC is the open BIM format for architecture, engineering, and construction. Converting FBX to IFC enables importing detailed models into Revit, ArchiCAD, Solibri, and other BIM tools without recreating geometry, improving coordination and clash detection.

What happens to FBX layers, materials, and geometry during IFC conversion?

Geometry stays intact: each polygonal mesh becomes an IfcTriangulatedFaceSet, and transforms are baked into each object's coordinate system. Material names are retained as IfcMaterial assignments, and custom FBX attributes become IFC property sets. Animation, skin, and light data are dropped because IFC does not support those.
