3D registration between IFC model and 2D drawing PDF

That’s not very important just caused I think again about the (digital) built environment industry

What I see in BIMx solution I see in Autodesk Revit 2020 too. But I don’t think it is what you’re looking for.
It just adds PDF as a Page Layout layer [Vector] (which PDF is inherently a Page Layout File too) under your BIM model. But I don’t think it has a fully coordinated approach.

For the first milestone that you mentioned:

Building code check by 2D drawing

There are two important topics:

  1. Existing PDFs that contain “Data+Information+Model (Normally 2D models from paper scans)” which needs “data/information extraction”
    This is why the majority of solutions are based on SVG, because 2D plans as graphics in PDF stored as vector formats.

  2. 3D registration between IFC model and 2D drawing PDF: which needs PDFs generated with these requirements in mind. This means that this solution won’t work with existing PDF files in companies as silos but will work with PDFs that will develop on bSJ or bSI based on integrating PDF structure and IFC structure.

As I see in the industry those countries who have national digital projects mainly have focused on the first approach [1] but think about the second one [2] too
