IFC-Unity-Editor-Plugin

Load IFC files during design time into unity.

Features

1. Load geometry of IFC files
2. Prepare the geometry for texture usage (done on loading and starting of a project including the package)
3. Load and link semantic information of IFC files
4. provide access to semantic IFC information on runtime and design time
5. Generate Unity material based on the material definitions in the IFC file
6. Automatic assignment of Unity materials to model
7. Assign colliders based on the IFC classes: IfcWall, IfcRoof, IfcBeam, IfcColumn, IfcSlab, IfcCurtainWall, IfcPlate, IfcStair, IfcStairFlight, IfcRamp, IfcRampFlight
8. To ease interactions, all GameObjects are assigned to one of three layers automatically based on their IFC type.
   • IfcWall, IfcWallStandardCase, IfcBeam, IfcColumn, IfcCurtainWall, IfcWindow and IfcPlate are added to layer 29 'Walls'
   • IfcRoof, IfcSlab, IfcStair, IfcStairFlight, IfcSite, IfcRamp and IfcRampFlight are added to layer 30 'Grounds'
   • IfcDoor and IfcDoorStandardCase are added to layer 31 'Doors'
