Description
IFC 4.3 enables open data exchange for infrastructure, yet many teams struggle to turn IFC exports into information that projects can rely on. This session will move beyond export steps and focus on using IFC effectively on infrastructure projects. You'll learn how IFC 4.3 works once it leaves Civil 3D software, including how models are governed, versioned, reviewed, and trusted. Topics will include model view definitions, the IFC Reference View for civil infrastructure, and common mistakes that reduce value. The session will also introduce Autodesk Forma Data Management as a practical way to manage IFC delivery at scale, supporting controlled sharing and review. You'll leave with guidance on positioning IFC as a trusted project resource.
