BuildingSMART's open IDS standard is designed to improve the process of exchanging requirements in your BIM project. Its purpose is to represent the needs of your project by sharing a list of information requirements that IFC models must meet. BIMcollab is a central hub for team members to easily access all specifications implemented for a given project. This workflow ensures that everyone is always working with the correct version of the specifications.
We have fully integrated IDS into the BIMcollab ecosystem:
Share these requirements with Revit modelers through our BCF Manager so they can refine models even before making an IFC export
Use the specification for property validation in BIMcollab Zoom for automated model checking
Track and resolve conflicts with Issues Management
