IFC to STEP Converter

This tool performs a deterministic IFC to STEP conversion, translating BIM data from Industry Foundation Classes to the STEP standard. It preserves structure, property sets, and geometry semantics to enable downstream CAD and PLM processes.
Conceptually, it reads the IFC schema, builds an intermediate representation, and applies mapping rules to STEP entities (AP203/AP214). It handles unit conversions, coordinate system alignment, and metadata preservation, producing a model suitable for cross-software workflows.
Who benefits: BIM coordinators, design engineers, fabricators, and facilities managers who exchange models with suppliers or owners. It reduces data loss, minimizes manual re-entry, and improves reproducibility across tools.
Key differentiators: broad entity coverage, robust property set preservation, configurable mapping profiles, and detailed validation reports. Typical use cases include handoffs between Revit/ARCHICAD/BIM and STEP-enabled CAD or CAE systems, and archival migrations.
