Exporting rebars directly to IFC

Up until version 2025.c, CYPECAD exported reinforcement in the program's own format that could be read by StruBIM Rebar. One of the features of StruBIM Rebar was the export of reinforcement in IFC format, so to obtain an IFC reinforcement file, users had to go through StruBIM Rebar. As of version 2025.c, CYPECAD now allows for the direct export of reinforcement in IFC format. This option, as in StruBIM Rebar, requires the "Export reinforcement detailing (IFC and BVBS)" permission.

In the BIMserver.center export panel, several options are offered when activating the "Reinforcement" export:

  • One IFC file with all floors
    Generates a single IFC file that includes the reinforcement of the entire model.
  • One IFC file per floor
    Generates a separate IFC file for each floor, with the corresponding reinforcement.
  • Include the description of the bars in BVBS format in the IFC files
    Adds an additional parameter on each bar with its description in BVBS format, which provides the necessary information about the shape of each bar for its manufacture.
  • One BVBS file containing all the elements
    Generates a single file that includes all the rebar in the project.
  • One BVBS file per element
    Generates a separate file for each element in the project.
