BIM Repository
Reliably store all your (open) BIM models and make them available to your application or organization. The main features of the BIM Repository are:
- Extensive API
- BIM Query Language
- Export to other formats
- Run model checks
- Prepare visualization
Explore all possibilities of the BIM.works Repository on the rest of this page.
Data management
The BIM repository can store all your IFC models
Revisions
Store multiple revisions of a model, older models are always available.
Admin / Developer UI
View DetailsInteractive Documentation
The BIM.works UI also provides interactive documentation, where you can see the code and it's effect in the browser.
Geo Location
BIM.works can extract geo location from any IFC file using different methods. For models with no geo location or an incorrect geo location, BIM.works provides the possibility to override the geo location.
View DetailsValidation
BIM.works will validate any IFC model on multiple levels: Encoding, STEP Physical File, IFC Schema
View DetailsBIM Queries
Query models with our query language and export the data to JSON, CSV or Excel. You can also quickly visualize the results of queries in the 2D and 3D viewer components (link). Results of queries can also be downloaded as IFC or glTF.
View DetailsExport
BIM.works provides many methods of exporting your models to other (open) formats.
IFC
You can always download the original IFC file. One of the advantages of OpenBIM is that you are never locked-in! In addition to that BIM.works can export the results of BIM Queries to IFC as well.
3D Tiles
Do you want to populate your Digital Twin with high fidelity models automatically generated from your IFC models? Easily share your BIM models as a 3D Tileset. Load any set of models in CesiumJS, Unity or Unreal Engine.
View DetailsCityGML / CityJSON
Do you want to populate your open GIS system with high quality models automatically generated from your IFC models? Export your models to CityGML (2) with BIM.works.
SVG
2D SVG (scalable vector graphics) can be exported from your BIM models.
Generate PDF files from your BIM models with vector graphics.
XLSX, CSV, JSON
Results of BIM.works Queries can be returned in many formats, allowing any data that is stored in BIM.works to be extracted to other databases (ETL).
Integration
BIM.works is typically deployed in complex environments, so integration is key.
buildingSMART Documents API
Model Checking
Different types of model checking are provided. Model checks are highly configurable to allow for context-specific rules.
IDS
BIM Base was involved in the development of the buildingSMART IDS standard. BIM.works implements version 0.9.
View DetailsClash Detection
Check for clashes in multiple models, you decide which objects should be tested by providing the BIM.works Queries.
View DetailsBCF
The results of all model checks can be exported to BCF. Unlike most other solutions BIM.work will also include the raster images for the viewpoints.
Deployment Options
Migrating your data between cloud and on premises is possible, so you can always change your mind
