IFC to 3dm converter

Hi everyone,

I’m developing Tessera, a local desktop tool for converting IFC files into Rhino-compatible .3dm files.

The main goal is to make IFC models easier to inspect and use in Rhino without uploading project data to external servers.

Current features:

  • IFC to .3dm conversion
  • local processing, no upload required
  • layer organization by IFC class, storey, or both
  • IFC metadata preserved as Rhino UserStrings
  • mesh detail settings
  • split export by class / storey
  • IFC structure preview before conversion

Tessera is not intended to be a full BIM authoring tool, and it does not guarantee perfect conversion of every IFC file. The result depends on the quality and structure of the source IFC data.

I’m currently looking for feedback from Rhino users who work with IFC files.

I would be happy to hear what IFC-to-Rhino workflows people are struggling with.

Added a short demo video showing the complete workflow:

48-element infrastructure model. Drop the IFC, preview the structure, select what to convert, and open the result in Rhino with auto-organized layers - about 40 seconds total.

Trial version (free, up to 100 elements) available if you want to test with your own IFC files.
