BCF Format in IFC Workflows – Webinar
Ouellette will explore the purpose and uses of BCF data, and best practices for integrating it into your processes using the new BCF Manager in Vectorworks software with a one-hour webinar, worth 1 AIA LU.
The webinar takes place Tuesday, April 25, 2017 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET.
Learning objectives:
- Explain what the BIM Collaboration Format is and why it was developed
- Discover how the BCF file format facilitates collaboration between architects and industry professionals
- Explore the role of BCF in various IFC-based workflows
- Demonstrate how modern software programs enable BCF data to be integrated into existing processes
Created by buildingSMART International, BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) data enables designers using IFC to better communicate and collaborate on data-rich projects, and leveraging this data for yourself doesn’t have to detract from your preferred workflow. Software companies have created tools and features that better enable professionals to benefit from the implementation of BCF data, such as the BCF Manager in Vectorworks Architect, which gives architects and designers the ability to directly view and interact with issues reported by collaborators on other IFC- and BCF-compatible platforms.
