BCF Export

What do you like best?

BCF can be used to deliver the information of all coordination related queries. The major advantage of using BCF rather than NWC is that it won't require 3D space. It was majorly be used for issue traking in the building information model. It is primarily used in my organization for defining views of a building model and the information related to the collisions or errors in the specific object in a view. There are several plug ins with this format to be used in the various other modelling BIM software such as Tekla, Revit, etc.

What do you dislike?

The major thing i dislike about BCF is that it is completely a file based format which can easily be either an older version also. Although now there are some major up gradations over a last few years but it is not as easy handling as the other type of formats available in the market right now.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I very much recommend someone who is using BCF for coordination purposes.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Through the use of BCF we are solving major issues of MEP clash coordination using Revit software. The BCFier tool can be used by a Revit modeler to add issues regarding to the auditing of a particular 3d space which can be later converted into file format which is individual of that 3d space. There are many benefits of using format beside it just like it can be used to coordinate the trigger point and direction within an IFC file.
