With usBIM.viewer+ you open, view and federate IFC format files of 3D models and objects regarding the various design disciplines - even simultaneously – deriving from the main BIM authoring software such as Edificius®, Revit®, ArchiCAD®, Allplan®, Tekla®, VectorWorks® and many others.

With usBIM.viewer+ you can:

  • Visually navigate through the 3D virtual model using zoom, orbit and rotate features;
  • Select entities directly in 3D or in the IFC file’s entity structure;
  • Easily view parts of the BIM model
  • Check each BIM element’s properties and a detailed set of information (volumes, areas, surfaces, distances, weights and much more)

Viewing, searching, analyzing objects and data contained in the IFC file is very simple thanks to specific functions that allow you to highlight the entities individually or by categories and work on entire levels of the BIM model.

Convert 3D models to the IFC file format - usBIM.viewer+ - ACCA software

Convert your 3D models to the IFC file format

With usBIM.viewer+ open, convert, integrate and export 3D models and objects to the IFC file format originating from many other formats such as, AutoCAD® (.dwg), SketchUp® (.skp), 3D Studio Max® (.3ds) and many others .. even without having your own BIM software!

Transform your 3D virtual model to the IFC standard format, adding many other types of BIM design discipline data to the graphical representation such as, technical, sales, structural, plant engineering and cost estimating information, etc.

Easily add IFC properties - usBIM.viewer+ - ACCA software

Easily add IFC properties

With usBIM.viewer + add custom IFC properties to 3D models and objects and integrate the information with further technical, commercial, structural, plant, metric and many other data ... without having to own BIM software!

Easily implement all the specifications necessary to completely define the BIM model.

Use the advanced features of a BIM authoring for free to implement the information contained in the BIM model and make communication during the design, execution and maintenance of the most efficient and reliable work.

Comparison of multiple 3D models - usBIM.viewer+ - ACCA software

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

 I have received an IFC file and I need to view it to be able to make an offer. Is there a way to open the IFC model?

IFC is an open and non-proprietary file format that allows full interoperability and exchange of data without the risk of introducing errors or loss of information. It is therefore the common language that allows the various professionals and role players of construction process to dialogue with each other.

A fundamental characteristic of the BIM process, in fact, is the collaboration between the various team members involved in the different phases of the structure’s life cycle to insert, extract, update or modify the information present in the model.

With usBIM.viewer+, you can open and view any type of IFC coordiantion view 2X3 files even when produced with different BIM authoring software; furthermore youcan also open other types of 3D models (.skp, .dwg, .dae, etc.) by converting them to the IFC format.

 With usBIM.viewer+ can I also edit IFC files?

Yes, usBIM.viewer+ is a true IFC file editor with advanced BIM model creation and editing functions. usBIM.viewer+ also allows you to add properties to IFC files, in order to enrich existing information with additional technical, commercial, structural, plant, cost and many other data types. And all this without having the need for a BIM authoring software.

  I have 3D models in the AutoCAD® and SketchUp® format ? Can I convert them to IFC?

In addition to opening and editing of IFC files, usBIM.viewer+ also allows you to open, convert and export files in the IFC2x3 file format and even load other 3D model files exported with AutoCAD (.dwg), SketchUp® (.skp), 3D Studio® (.3ds) and many others too, and without the need of a dedicated BIM software.

I need to install ACCA software solutions on 150 PCs. How can I perform a "silent install" in unattended mode?

Our software setup procedure allows you to use a specific parameter once you have downloaded the installation package. Network Admins can follow this simple guide to install any of our BIM solutions on multiple PCs.

  • First of all download the setup package here (we're considering usBIM.Viewer+ in this case but it's valid for any ACCA software solution): www.accasoftware.com/freeware/usBIM-viewer+
  • Then, instead of launching the setup directly, click on the: "Do you want to create a setup Package for a different PC", option. Create setup Package for different PC | ACCA software This will dump the entire setup package in the default folder: C:\ACCA\SETUP\usBIM.viewer+
  • Now run the install process using the "-SILENTMODE" parameter in the "RUN" (Windows key+"R") dialogue as follows: C:\ACCA\SETUP\usBIM.viewer+\Setup.exe -SILENTMODE the Installations will launch but default install path and settings will be used: C:\ACCA\usBIM.viewer+
  • You'll notice that there's no need to assist the install process and once completed, the software will be ready for you to use with a double-click on the relating program desktop icon.
