[Categorize Target]
None : Form a IFC file classification system based on CIM object type.
Structure : Form a IFC file classification system based on structure information.
[Geometric Representation]
Select the Geometry Type for representation when converting a CIM 3D object to an IFC object.Curved Member : Sets the Geometry Type for a Curved Member.
Swept Area Solid(Recommended) : Sweeps a surface profile along a line curve to form a solid.
Faceted Solid : Converts a curved surface to a triangular tessellation format.
(Used to interchange with softwares that do not support Swept Area Solid.)
Curved Face : Sets the Geometry Type for a Curved Face.
Curved Surface : Converts to a Curved Surface Type that IFC supports.
Faceted Face : Converts a curved surface to a triangular tessellation format.
B-Spline Path : Sets the Geometry Type for a member with B-spline path.
B-Spline : Converts to a B-Spline geometry type.
B-Spline with knot : Converts to a B-Spline with knot geometry type.
Poly line : Converts to a poly line geometry type.
Primitive Solid : Sets Geometry Type for a primitive solid.
CSG 3D : Converts to a three-dimensional figure that can be represented by a few dimensions. Cylinder / Pipe / Sphere / Cone / Block are supported.
Extruded Solid(Recommended) : Converts a surface profile into an extrusion at a specified direction. This is suitable for straight line members.
Faceted Solid : Converts a curved surface to a triangular tessellation format.
(Used to interchange with softwares that do not support CSG 3D / Extruded Solid)
Rebar : Sets the Geometry Type of the converted Rebar object.
Wire Body : Exports the Renar object as a curve. Polyline, Circle, Arc, Ellipse, Elliptic arc, Bspline are supported.
Swept Disk Solid(Recommended) : Converts to a swept shape a from Circle/Pipe Profile along a curved line. 3-Dimensional Path is supported.
Swept Area Solid : Swept Disk Solid(Recommended) : Converts to a swept shape from a Surface Profile along a curved line. Only 2-Dimensional Path is supported.
Faceted Solid : Converts curves into triangular Tessellation.
(Used to interchange with softwares that do not support Wire Body / Swept Disk Solid / Swept Area Solid.)
Tendon : Tendon : Sets the Geometry Type of the converted Tendon object.
Wire Body : Exports the Tendon object as a curve. Polyline, Circle, Arc, Ellipse, Elliptic arc, Bspline are supported.
Swept Disk Solid(Recommended) : Converts to a swept shape from a Circle/Pipe Profile along a curved line. 3-Dimensional Path is supported.
Swept Area Solid : Swept Disk Solid(Recommended) : Converts to a swept shape from a Surface Profile along a curved line. Only 2-Dimensional Path is supported.
Faceted Solid : Converts curves into triangular Tessellation.
(Used to interchange with softwares that do not support Wire Body / Swept Disk Solid / Swept Area Solid.)
Template Section : Sets the Geometry Type of an object that uses a template section.
Parameterized Profile(Recommended) : Creates object using the IFC template profile.
Arbitrary Closed Profile : Create objects using closed Profile different typles of curves (Polyline / Circle / Arc etc.)
[Tessellation]
Sets the angle of a triangle in a Tessellation on objects created through the Faceted method.[Option]
Export Tendon : Exports the Tendon object.
Export Stiffener : Exports the Stiffner object.
Export Wire Body : Exports Wire Body.
Export Property : Exports property information of the object.
Export Material : Exports material information of the object.
Export Color : Exports the color information of the object.

An IFC file is a neutral file format that enables compatibility and viewing with othre MIDAS products as well as other third-party softwares. The following is an example of a result from exporting and running a midas CIM model as an IFC file.
