Overview

How to Convert IFC to OBJ Using C#

In order to convert IFC to OBJ, we’ll use Aspose.CAD for .NET API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for C# platform. Open NuGet package manager, search for Aspose.CAD and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

PM> Install-Package Aspose.CAD

Steps to Convert IFC to OBJ via C#

.NET programmers can easily load & convert IFC files to OBJ in just a few lines of code.

  1. Load IFC file with Image.Load method
  2. Set an object of CadRasterizationOptions with page height & width
  3. Create an instance of ObjOptions class and set its VectorRasterizationOptions property
  4. Call Image.Save method while passing the resultant file path & object of ObjOptions

System Requirements

Before running the .NET conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

  • Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with .NET Framework, .NET Core.
  • Development environment like Microsoft Visual Studio.
  • Aspose.CAD for .NET DLL referenced in your project.

    IFC What is IFC File Format?

    Files with IFC extension refer to Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file format that establishes international standards to import and export building objects and their properties. This file format provides interoperability between different software applications. Specifications for this file format are developed and maintained by buildingSMART International as its Data Standard. The ultimate objective of IFC file format is to improve communication, productivity, delivery time and quality throughout the life cycle of a building. Due to the established standards for common objects in the building industry, it reduces the loss of information during transmission from one application to another. IFC can hold data for geometry, calculation, quantities, facility management, pricing etc. for many different professions (architect, electrical, HVAC, structural, terrain etc.).

    OBJ What is OBJ File Format?

    OBJ files are used by Wavefront’s Advanced Visualizer application to define and store the geometric objects. Backward and forward transmission of geometric data is made possible through OBJ files. Both polygonal geometry like points, lines, texture vertices, faces and free-form geometry (curves and surfaces) are supported by OBJ format. This format does not support animation or information related to light and position of scenes. An OBJ file is usually an end product of the 3D modeling process generated by a CAD (Computer Aided Design). The default order to store vertices is counter-clockwise avoiding explicit declaration of face normals. Though OBJ files declare scale information in a comment line yet no units have been declared for OBJ coordinates.
