Alpine continues to innovate with the latest version of the IntelliVIEW Suite, now offering IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) export to improve collaboration, visualization, and accuracy in Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows.

IFC export enables seamless data exchange across platforms, allowing multidisciplinary teams to collaborate and detect clashes early. The new IFC export capabilities with the latest version of the IntelliVIEW Suite help builders and component manufacturers improve communication while ensuring models remain accurate. Identifying and resolving potential conflicts prior to construction reduces costs, prevents back charges, and minimizes disruptions to project timelines.

Collaboration using an IFC file offers numerous benefits, primarily interoperability and data exchange. IFC is a standardized format designed to describe architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry data that helps enable teams to collaborate effectively across platforms. It ensures all stakeholders work from a unified model, reducing errors, enhancing decision-making, and improving project coordination.

With structured and precise IFC data, manufacturers can fabricate components with confidence. This level of accuracy streamlines the review process before production and enhances efficiency in construction workflows. The use of IFC export enables smooth data transfers while preserving the integrity of the building information model.

As a standard format, IFC files can be opened in any IFC viewer for 3D visualization, allowing stakeholders to better understand the project and communicate effectively with trades on-site.

IFC export is a critical tool for improving collaboration, reducing errors, and ensuring that projects stay on track with minimal intervention. This new capability transforms how projects are executed while driving efficiency at every stage.
