Export a 3D model or a BIM file (GLB, USDZ, OBJ, IFC)

Guide: Export a 3D model or a BIM file (GLB, USDZ, OBJ, IFC) · · 1 min read

Under More formats in Export you get the house as a 3D model for other programs, or as an IFC file for BIM with the area of every room under your standard.

Free as a small PNG with a watermark. In full: unlock the home (your first home is free) or take Pro.

The Export window with More formats open: GLB, USDZ, OBJ and IFC.

Export a 3D model or a BIM file (GLB, USDZ, OBJ, IFC): step by step

  1. 1. Open More formats

    Click Export, then open More formats under Format. It stays closed until you need it.

  2. 2. Pick a format

    GLB is a 3D model for AR, 3D programs and game engines. USDZ is for Apple AR. OBJ comes with its materials (MTL) in one ZIP, for older 3D programs. IFC is the BIM file.

  3. 3. Every kind on its own layer

    In GLB and OBJ every level and kind (walls, doors and windows, stairs, furniture, roof, floors) is a separate part with its own name, in meters with Y up. No name, address or place goes in the file.

  4. 4. IFC with the area by the standard

    The IFC 4 file has the site, the building (and each outbuilding), a storey per floor, walls, doors and windows in their openings, stairs, furniture and the roof, each on its own layer. Every room is an IfcSpace with its net area and, in the property set Squaremetry_MeasuredArea, the area that counts under your standard with the rule set and its version.

  5. 5. Download

    Click the yellow button. The 3D panel has the same GLB, USDZ and OBJ under 3D model.
