Support for IFC 4.3 is a work in progress. 

Thank you for your idea!

@TimYarris on one of the forums it says this idea is implemented. Does this mean it is for Civil 3D 2023 or earlier versions as well? Thanks

Hi Deepak,

The IFC Import/Export Extension is now in beta on the Future portal and can be run on Civil 3D 2022.2 (or above)

Nice to hear from you @andrew_milford, hope you are well mate. Is it possible to get one of our customers on this Future portal for them to test the beta? Thanks

Sure can, you can get access to the Infrastructure Futures at

Awesome, thanks @andrew_milford.

Cheers

@DeepakMaini , perhaps the other forum was referring to general support of IFC in Civil 3D. Currently Civil 3D supports IFC 4x1 for alignments.

I have tried the IFC Import/Export Extension for IFC 4.3 and geometry export has improved a lot, but it is not georeferencing well. It asks to indicate the Datum, but even adding it does not do a good georeference.

I would appreciate if someone could tell me what could be the problem. Thank you very much.

The new IFC 4x3 Extension for Civil 3D available from manage.autodesk.com for both Civil 3D 2022 and 2023 supports importing reference view data from buildingSMARTS formal releases IFC 4, IFC 4x1, IFC 4x2, IFC 4x3. The plugin supports creating IFC 4 and IFC 4x3 files that conform to the final versions of the schemas.

IFC 4x3 is the first version of IFC that formally supports roads.

IFC 4x1 and 4x2 have been deprecated by buildingSMART.
