The API integration is easy and is seamless for end users. They can thus read geometrical data along with model tree and metadata contained in this format. By integrating CrossCad/Ware in their own application, software vendors benefit from Datakit’s technology, enabling them to access to IFC format data. This is possible thanks to CrossCad/Ware: a SDK that can be integrated in a third-party software. Software vendors can also take advantage of this interface in order to provide their users with interoperability with IFC format.

After conversion, these files can thus be opened in most CAD software or viewers.”Īn IFC file, converted in 3DPDF with CrossManager.

ifcxml files in the numerous CAD formats that we can write. “ Thanks to this new interface, Datakit breaks down the barriers between BIM and CAD worlds”, explains Samad Elboustini CTO of Datakit, “ Indeed, CAD software users can be required to work with IFC files coming from BIM applications (such as REVIT™, ArchiCAD™, Allplan™, SketchUp™, Vectorworks™…), but can’t operate them if their CAD software can’t read them.īy adding an IFC format reader to our standalone converter CrossManager, we give users the ability to convert. Datakit, a leading company in CAD data exchange, unveil its brand new interface: a library to read the IFC format (Industry Foundation Classes), the standard exchange format for BIM (Building Information Modeling).
