GETTING STARTED

From sign-up to your first IFC rendered in 3D, in five steps. No credit card. Free during open beta.

Five steps to your first 3D model

Total time: about five minutes (excluding upload)

Create an account

Enter email, display name, password. Click the verification link in your inbox. No credit card.

Workspace gets created

One is created automatically on first sign-in. Rename it in settings, then invite teammates (Free: 5 members).

Create a project

From the workspace page, click "+ New Project". Pick a name and default language. Free plan: 5 projects per workspace.

3D view after upload — click any element to select

4. Upload an IFC

Click "IFC Import" on the project detail page and pick a .ifc / .ifczip. Up to 200 MB. The worker parses out Storeys, Walls, Slabs, Columns, Beams, Roofs, and Stairs into the database.

After parsing, glTF chunks are generated automatically so subsequent 3D loads are fast.

5. View and share

Click elements, slice sections, switch storeys, inspect properties. The Share Link button (top right) issues a URL anyone can open — no account required.

Common questions

What does sign-up require?
Email, display name, password — that's it. No credit card. Email is editable later.
What's the difference between a workspace and a project?
Workspace = your team or company. Project = a single building or engagement. One workspace can hold multiple projects (Free plan: 5 projects per workspace).
I don't have an IFC file handy
Bimly doesn't ship sample IFCs (licensing). For testing, try the buildingSMART Sample-Test-Files repository or export from Revit / ArchiCAD's sample project.
How long does an IFC upload take?
Depends on file size and element count. 50 MB / 5,000 elements ≈ 30–60 seconds. 100 MB+ models start rendering within 3 minutes thanks to incremental loading.
What roles can I invite teammates with?
Owner, Admin, Editor, Reviewer, Viewer — five levels, picked at invite time. Editor and above can edit elements; Reviewer and above can comment on issues; Viewer is read-only.
