3D + 2D model viewer

Your IFC models, right in the browser

View federated IFC models straight in the browser. No licensed desktop application, no high-end workstation. Combine architecture, structure, and MEP in one scene, cut section planes, measure distances, switch between storeys and 2D floor plans, and click any element to read its properties or jump to a linked finding. For everyone on the project, the whole model is one URL away.

The challenge

Heavy desktop tools shouldn't gate a quick look

Opening a BIM model usually means a licensed desktop application and a machine powerful enough to run it. That puts the model out of reach for the people who often need it most: site teams checking a detail, clients reviewing progress, the kwaliteitsborger verifying a finding. So the model stays with a handful of specialists. Screenshots get emailed around in its place, and decisions get made from a static image instead of the live geometry.

Our approach

A full viewer that runs anywhere

  • Open federated IFC models in any modern browser, on any device, with nothing to install.
  • Cut section planes, measure distances, and switch between storeys and 2D floor plans.
  • Click any element to read its properties and jump straight to linked findings.
  • Combine architecture, structure, and MEP disciplines in a single coordinated scene.

Key capabilities

Runs in any browser

Open federated IFC models on a laptop, tablet, or phone. Nothing to install, and no licence to manage.

Section, measure, isolate

Cut section planes, measure distances, and switch storeys or 2D floor plans to inspect exactly the part you care about.

Element properties on click

Select any element to read its IFC properties and jump straight to the findings anchored to it.

Federated disciplines

Architecture, structure, and MEP models load together in one coordinated scene, instead of separate one-off views.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install any software to view models?
No. The viewer runs in any modern browser on a laptop, tablet, or phone. There's nothing to install, and you don't need a desktop licence to open a federated IFC model.
Can I view multiple disciplines together?
Yes. Architecture, structure, and MEP IFC models load into a single federated scene, so you can review the coordinated whole rather than switching between separate exports.
What can I do with an element in the viewer?
You can click any element to read its IFC properties, cut section planes and measure around it, isolate its storey, and jump straight to any findings anchored to that element.
