How do I convert an IFC file to DAE?

Upload your IFC file, select DAE as the output format, and click Convert. Once processed, download the DAE file. Geometry, materials, and texture coordinates are automatically preserved.

Why should I convert IFC to DAE instead of using IFC directly?

IFC is designed for building information modeling, not real-time rendering. DAE (COLLADA) is a standard interchange format for 3D tools like Blender, Unity, and Three.js, making models easier to animate, import, and render with broader software compatibility.

What technical data is preserved during conversion?

IFC's parametric geometry is triangulated into meshes, while material assignments, texture UV maps, and scene hierarchy are retained for the DAE file. Non-visual BIM metadata (e.g., cost or maintenance data) is not converted.
