IFC-importer for Blender-3D
IFC-importer imports BIM data from IFC files into Blender-3D.
It is a part of BIM system implementation in CADtools for Blender 2.49b.
IFC-importer builds on IFC-parser written by Marijn van Aerle in 2010.



The prototyping was started early 2011.
v.0.1.01 - 2011.02.10 - first evaluation version
v.0.1.13 - 2016.10.04 - current release

BIM implementation for Blender is not completed yet (2016.10.04),
the importer creates only geometrical part of BIM data.
