IFC Sample Files on GitHub

Hi everyone, I finally have the ability to set up and manage repositories in GitHub. As discussed in various contexts, I would like to create a repository for sample IFC files, IFC2x3 and IFC4, with varied levels of complexity (though let’s not get too crazy), for “public” testing and example purposes. I propose that there be a single “SAMPLE FILES” repository with folders for each of the different “purposes”, e.g.: Sample_Files > IFC_documentation_samples IFC2x3 IFC4 (includes .ifc, .ifcxm…

The logistics are a bit tricky because we need to set up a protocol to validate the IFC examples. We’ve started this task within the ISG, but need some more time to get it up and running.

In addition, we’ve considered a set of official example “unit” files; There were some at one time, but they had not been previously validated or updated to IFC4.
