Improve model quality with IDS (Information Delivery Specification)

BuildingSMART's new 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. An IDS palette has been added to the BCF manager for Revit. This allows you to view the Information Delivery Specification of a project within Revit. As a result, a high level of model quality can be achieved before exporting it to IFC.

We have fully integrated IDS into the BIMcollab ecosystem:
  1. Start by defining your project's specifications in BIMcollab Nexus
  2. Share these requirements with Revit modelers through our BCF Manager so they can refine models even before making an IFC export
  3. Use the specification for property validation in BIMcollab Zoom for automated model checking
  4. Track and resolve conflicts with Issues
