This means no separate viewer is needed, as is the case, for example, with Revit using a plugin.<\/p><p>With the functionalities of the IFC viewer, you can navigate through the BIM model. You can zoom in, rotate the model, and inspect various elements. Additionally, the powerful IFC viewer allows not only viewing the visual aspect of the model but also inspecting specific data and information about each element.<\/p><p>By linking objects from the BIM model to the bill of quantities, we can automatically extract quantities. The data from the model can be automatically populated when working with a standard bill of quantities, or we verify the data.
