Importing an IFC model

Bring in an IFC model from another tool as a new building of Linea's own walls, doors, windows and levels. The file is read in your browser.

  1. Click Import in the Files row, then Building (IFC), and pick an .ifc file. Progress shows while it reads.
  2. Check What we found: a summary of buildings and levels, then walls, doors, windows, columns, floors, stairs and roofs where present.
  3. If it looks sideways, click Landed on its side? Try the other orientation.
  4. Click Add to drawing. The panel confirms Added to your model.

The building is added beside what you've drawn, as a new building on your project's site. Doors and windows keep their link to their walls. After adding, Landed on its side? Re-import with the other orientation removes the buildings just added and imports again the other way up. Choose a different file goes back before you commit.

Files up to 100 MB import. Linea reads the file in your browser, so it stays on your computer.
