Convert dwg 3d format in ifc format importing inclusive dimensions and material characteristics

Hello,

Could be so kind as to give me a procedure to import a 3d dwg model not like a block but an editable ifc format?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi,
In terms of Importing and converting a 3D DWG CAD file to an IFC, first of all, you need to be sure that it's a 3D CAD Model saved as a Dwg. If it's a 2D Plan, you won;t be able to achieve a Compliant 3D IFC model.
Secondly, the DWG Geometry can only be transformed as an IFC but you will most probably need to edit Propertysets and Classifications according to the IFC data Schema.

Both these operations can be accomplished using our usBIM.viewer+ application available here:

For more details, I suggest reading this important Blog Post with a detailed description of the process that needs to be Followed:
