Hello! I’m doing a small project were it would be very handy to have a “database” (spreadsheet, webpage, even a text file would suffice!) where I could find IFC entities and all their corresponding psets (and/or Qtos), in one place. Without this, I have to navigate to each IFC entity’s page, search…

Maybe the alphabetical list of properties could help you gather the information in the form you need it. Or take a look at the computer-interpretable listings .

For IFC4.3 that “database” is an UML/XMI model IFC4.3.x-development/IFC.xml at master · buildingSMART/IFC4.3.x-development · GitHub The JSON that we generate from it [0] probably comes pretty close to what you want. It’s 4.3 only atm, but we’ll regenerate the same setup for the earlier IFC release…

Thank you all for the answers! Those files definitely help. I should have mentioned, that I am not a developer/programmer, so that is perhaps why I was looking at something easier to digest like a spreadsheet for example. I don’t really know how to programmatically extract what I need from those fi…

A while back OSArch had produced some spreadsheet formatted lists: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=IFC_-_Industry_Foundation_Classes/IFC_classes#List_of_IFC_classes In your OP you asked for a website listing, every IFC spec has an alphabetical list of all entities and psets and qtos. Is the…

https://search.bsdd.buildingsmart.org/ might also help for the most common parts

Thanks! The DDS IFC Schema navigator sounds exactly what I was after. Basically an “all in one place” application to see property sets of different entities. @Moult , thanks for those pdfs, they also help! To answer your question, the alphabetical listing of the entities is definitely enough…I was j…

As you have for sure figured out already, you basically select schema (like “IFC 4”), use the free form search (e.g. for “door”) and get all relevant hits (IfcDoor, IfcDoorType, IfcDoorTypeEnum, PSet_DoorCommon etc) with hierarchy listing top left and all attributes, applicable psets, relations etc …

Thanks for the JSON for the IFC4.3 schema. That is exactly what I was looking for; unfortunately, I need it for IFC 4add2 TC1. Have you already started to regenerate these files for previous IFC releases? If not, how did you generate this JSON, any hints on how to reproduce it myself?

Is there a "database" with all the IFC entities and their corresponding psets/qto's?

I’d recommend the free “DDS IFC Schema Navigator” - works for both IFC 2x3 and IFC 4.
