Product Data for Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Validation of sample files in this repository

1 - Validity of ifcXML files against the Full IFC 4 XSD-schema

2 - Validity of ifc files against the Full IFC 4 schema with the XBim SchemaValidator

3 - To come: Validity of ifcXML files against the IFC 4 xsd schema of the Product Data View

4 - To come: Validity of ifc files against the Product Data View (MVDXML)

5 - To come: Validity of ifc files against the Definitions in a dictionary (e.g. bSDD)

This official repository is maintained by the community around the ProductRoom of buildingSMART International. It is used for open communication of ideas, samples and agreements.

Product data template (PDT) and product data sheets (PDS)

System to describe product data templates and product data sheets with IFD and IFC (ISO 16739). This is ongoing work within the working group of buildingSMART International. The repository is open for sharing other samples and discussing related questions.

Please do not use in production yet.

Structure of the sample files

The sample files for BIM product data in this repo should follow this rules and structure:

Structure of folders

One folder per sample file as a subfolder in "SampleFiles" e.g. like this

SampleFiles/MyExample

All other related files are store alongside in the this folder.

Serialization formats

The sample should be one of the following serialization formats

Format	file ending
ifcXML	.ifcXML
Step	.ifc
Json	.json

Please be aware, that the file endings are case sentitive.

The file can be also in the compressed form as an ".ifcZIP". (Look here to get an overview of all possible file formats to transport IFC-compliant data.)

Description

Please add a readme.md in the folder and describe your sample. Please describe the use case and the specialities of your sample, so that everybody can easily understand your sample.
