Utility for applying modification recipes to IFC files

IfcPatch

Utility for applying modification recipes to IFC files. IfcPatch enables programmatic editing and correction of IFC models through a collection of patches that can fix common issues, migrate data, or transform models.

Available Recipes

Data Conversion and Migration

• AGS2IFC - Convert AGS (geotechnical) data to IFC
• ConvertLengthUnit - Convert between length units
• ConvertNestToAggregate - Convert nesting relationships to aggregations
• ConvertPropertiesToQuantities - Convert properties to quantities
• Migrate - Migrate between IFC schema versions

Element Extraction and Manipulation

• ExtractElements - Extract specific elements into a new model
