Autodesk supports buildingSMART International, the organization that develops and maintains the IFC standard for both Buildings and Civil Infrastructure. IFC is widely recognized as the leading interoperability standard, and more than 150,000 users have downloaded our IFC Open Source export for Revit since 2011.

The Autodesk Revit IFC Manual provides technical guidance for teams working with openBIM workflows. IFC is the basis for exchanging data between different applications through openBIM workflows for building design, construction, procurement, maintenance, and operation, within project teams and across software applications. 

Download version 2 of the manual here, available in 9 languages:

Revit provides fully certified IFC import and export based on buildingSMART® IFC data exchange standards as an individual opensource Add-In, which is updated regularly and independently of Revit. 

Learn how openBIM and open data drive interoperability and digital transformation at the Autodesk BIM Center.
