Reading informations into an IFC

[SONA-ARCHITECTURE]

Hi,

I so lot of stuffs about reading IFC file  :

1. OpenSourceReading here :https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/opensource-api-for-reading-ifc-files/m-p/6433280
2. Using Autodesk.Revit.DB.IFC Namespace
3. XBimToolKit
4. etc.

I'd like to have an advice :

If I want to read informations (IFCSite coordinates, Parameters from objects, etc.) what is the mots suitable solution? If I use the Autodesk.Revit.DB.IFC Namespace, it seams to convert the IFC file into Revit model, is it real?

Many thanks for your help.

I can answer your last question: yes, the Autodesk.Revit.DB.IFC functionality can read an IFC file and generate a placeholder RVT from that. I used that in my IfcSpaceZoneBoundaries project.

Ok, Thx Jeremy

Does the Revit.IFC.Import systematically generate an ifc.rvt model or can I just use it to read informations into the IFC without generate a Revit File?
