Programmatic element parsing
Elements and their property sets are read from the IFC structure itself. Nothing is rendered, and no geometry is interpreted by a vision model, so names, marks and quantities come back as authored.
IFC to Excel
An IFC model is a database of elements with properties, not a drawing. Getting a schedule out of it should therefore be a parse, not a picture-reading exercise — which is exactly how AxioExtract handles it.
How BIM models are read
Schema mapping only
A lightweight model maps the parsed elements onto the output columns and nothing else, which keeps the read cheap and repeatable.
Charged per file — 10 credits per file
BIM models are priced per file rather than per page. Files up to 60 MB are accepted.
The element schedule
Each element is returned with its type, name, mark, storey and material, together with the quantities carried in the model. That is the shape most quantity take-off, asset register and procurement workflows need, and it can be filtered and sorted in the grid before export.
Export options are an Excel workbook (.xlsx), tab-separated values for Google Sheets, JSON, or XML — see supported formats.
If your data is not in IFC
Native authoring formats such as .rvt are not read directly; export to IFC first. Two dimensional CAD drawings should be exported to DXF instead — see DXF to Excel — and issued drawing sheets can be uploaded as PDF and read with the engineering drawing profiles.
Common questions
How do I export IFC data to Excel?
Upload the IFC file with the BIM model profile. Elements are parsed from the model and returned as a schedule with type, name, mark, storey, material and quantities, which can be reviewed and exported to Excel, Google Sheets, JSON or XML.
Is the IFC model rendered and read visually?
No. IFC files are structured data, so elements and their properties are parsed directly. No image is produced and no vision model reads geometry; a lightweight model only maps parsed elements onto the output columns.
Can Revit files be uploaded?
No. Export the model to IFC from Revit or your BIM authoring tool and upload the IFC file, which can be up to 60 MB.
