The latest version of the Plant3D IFC Exporter is now available for testing.
This version utilizes ‘IFCMappedItems’ and instances, which reduces the file size for files containing identical components.
E.g., exporting this file with recent version is reducing size of the file by 15% when using ‘Normal’ Mesh Resolution.
Final file size depends on Mesh Resolution setting, that has Coarse, Normal and Fine options.
Details of the IFC file, which have exported with different options:
Coarse, smallest file size
Normal, medium file size
Fine, biggest file size
Latest version is compatible with AutoCAD Plant3D 2025.2 – 2027.2 versions which have been updated to use NET10
It can be installed alongside previous versions of the IFC Exporter and uses the same license as the latest 2027.x version.
