To ensure “intelligent” data exchange to other CAD systems like VectorWorks or ArchiCAD and other applications such as tender-ing, ordering and billing programs, high demands are made on this data exchange standard. The aim is to provide integrated, customerspecific solutions, taking into account existing software applications. By standardizing these interfaces, integration into existing customerspecific IT environments is to be facilitated considerably in future. These object-oriented developments are able to revolutionize the future of the construction industry by providing a seamless IT connection to downstream applications such as programs for tendering, ordering and billing, which have access to the intelligent, objectrelated data provided by the building model.Īlthough the internal interfaces provided by Nemetschek’s product portfolio are very sophisticated, Nemetschek AG is still not satisfied and thus one step ahead. To harness the advantages provided by using these “intelligent” building elements – that is, their inherent information described by properties and attributes – in the entire building process, Nemetschek AG has developed an appropriate object-oriented in-terface known as Nemetschek Object Interface (NOI). For example, they automatically adapt to the scale. Being intelligent, these objects, which are known as “parameterized“ objects, inherently convey information on their behavior. In addition to the actual geometry, other aspects such as physical and structural element properties as well as management information such as costs can be managed. This approach is based on models of objects describing buildings, which are linked by topological structures and whose different properties are described by attributes. In the Eighties, Nemetschek AG pioneered the object-oriented building model (BIM) in the construction industry.
The new IFC 2x3 Interface has been certified by the IAI in March 2007.
Allplan from Nemetschek supports the IFC 1.5.1, IFC2x and also IFC 2x3.
