How do you use IFC to communicate between the disciplines on a project? We are commencing the development of a series of examples to show just how achievable this is using IFC. If you are interested in assisting in documenting such an exchange eg architect to structural engineer,  architect to TA, structure to architect, building services to architect, sustainability, briefing, lighting costing etc, then please contact buildingSMART. We are committed to showing a diverse range of applications and vendors. More soon!
