I have used IFC a files a lot and never experience unreliable data in Navisworks with it. Everything was shown correctly in Navisworks so was clash detected also correctly

Hi,

 

NW reads IFC files and there is no reason why you cannot clash detect with them.

 

One small worning, IFC files can come from many different applications and there is a lot of variation in what they export and how they structure.

 

If you get some typical IFCs that you want to use, load them into NW and inspect them, then as long as the you see everything you expect to see in NW, then you should be good to go.

 

Regards,

 

Ian

Thanks for your response, it seems NW can operate IFC file well.
