Fabrication drawings from your IFC model, in minutes

Upload a Tekla Structures IFC export or pick it from Google Drive and tick the assemblies. IFCNexus produces a dimensioned fabrication detail, part list and weights for each assembly, delivered as one strip sheet in DXF and PDF.

No card required · free trial: 1 model, 5 assemblies · files deleted after 7 days

Sample output

Sample output

Deck bracing assembly: front view, A-A/B-B sections, 1:5 end sections, single parts, material list and general notes. A2 sheet at 1:10 — paper size and scale are chosen automatically.

How it works

1Upload

Drop your IFC file or pick it from Google Drive. Assemblies (IfcElementAssembly) and quantities are listed within seconds.

2Select

Tick the assemblies to draw and type a sheet title. Optionally save the output straight into the IFCNexus folder in your Drive.

3Download

Views, sections, dimensions, holes, part list and weights are generated per assembly; all details come as one strip sheet in DXF (R2010) and PDF.

What you get

Automatic paper and scale

A2 / A1 / A0 and 1:10 … 1:50 chosen from the assembly size; if a detail does not fit, it is retried on the next larger sheet.

Shop-standard dimensioning

Running + chain dimensions to hole centres, one locating reference per part, dimensions on the solid side; no redundant dimensions.

Sections and end details

Main sections plus 1:5 end sections; bolt holes with clearance (d+2), including holes for bolts of adjacent assemblies.

Part list and weights

Mark, profile, grade, quantity, length and weight per assembly; total bill of material at the end of the strip.

Single-part views

Plates and profiles as single parts with hole diameters and CNC cutting note on the same sheet.

Automatic checks

Each detail is checked for overlaps, frame overflow and unlocatable positions; results are shown in the job summary.

DXF + PDF

Layered DXF R2010 (VISIBLE, HIDDEN, HOLE, DIM, MARK, TEXT) and a PDF with one page per detail.

Google Drive

Pick the model from Drive and save the sheet back to Drive. Only files you pick and the IFCNexus folder are accessed (drive.file).

Privacy

Files are processed only to generate your drawings, deleted after 7 days and never used for model training. Servers in the European Union.

Frequently asked questions

Which IFC files are supported?

The first release is tuned for Tekla Structures IFC2X3 / IFC4 exports: assemblies as IfcElementAssembly, part marks from part names (Pos/n), bolts as IfcMechanicalFastener. Advance Steel and Revit IFC are being tested; upload your model in the free trial to see the result.

Does IFCNexus assign part marks?

No. Existing part and assembly marks in the model are used as they are; IFCNexus never invents numbers. Parts whose mark cannot be read are listed with a question mark.

Is there a DWG output?

DXF (R2010) and PDF for now. DXF opens directly in AutoCAD, GstarCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD and Tekla. DWG is on the roadmap.

Are the drawings ready for fabrication?

IFCNexus is a drawing generation tool; outputs must be checked by a qualified engineer or detailer before fabrication. Errors and missing data in the input model carry over to the output.

What happens to my files?

IFC files and outputs are processed only to generate your drawings, deleted from the server after 7 days, never shared with third parties and never used for model training. Files you save to Drive stay in your own account.

What does the Google Drive permission cover?

Only the drive.file scope: the app can read the files you pick in the picker window and write to the IFCNexus folder it created. It cannot see the rest of your Drive. You can revoke the permission at any time.

How long do large models take?

A simple beam or bracing assembly takes about a minute, a 20 m truss a few minutes. Jobs run in a queue; you can close the page and download later from 'My models and jobs'.

How do cancellation and refunds work?

Cancel anytime and keep using the service until the end of the period. Request a refund within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it. Details in the Refund Policy.
