As of the 2017.i version, IFC Builder allows users to introduce bathroom fittings in the architectural model of the building. These can be found in the Equipment tab of the program toolbar, where users can choose amongst the following:
- Sink
- Shower
- Bath
- Toilet
- Bidet
Apart from defining the type of fitting, users can indicate its dimensions and its representation, be it in 2D or 3D, from a “dxf” or “dwg” format file. This way, they will appear on floor plans and in the three-dimensional view of the project.
Finally, thanks to the integration in the Open BIM workflow of IFC Builder, these elements can be exported in IFC format to the project directory and can be viewed, not only in IFC Builder, but also in the other applications that work on the same BIM model.
