Bimly is an online IFC viewer. Upload any .ifc and get instant 3D, properties, sectioning, and shareable links — with no install. Sign up in under a minute, all features are free during the open beta.
IFC is the most-shared format between architects, contractors, and clients. Bimly opens IFC2x3 and IFC4 natively, structures the model by Storey, and renders it in 3D within seconds.
Parsing happens with web-ifc (WASM, MPL 2.0) so everything stays in your browser. Original IFC files are retained for 90 days and can be re-exported any time.
First render in seconds. The worker pre-bakes glTF chunks per storey, so subsequent loads skip client-side triangulation entirely.
From internal review to client demos to sub-contractor handoff
Upload up to 200 MB .ifc / .ifczip directly to your browser. web-ifc (WASM) parses Storeys, Walls, Slabs, Columns, Beams, Roofs, and Stairs automatically.
Inspect IfcPropertySet values, volume / area quantities, owning Storey, GUID, ElementType, and MaterialSet — without leaving the viewer.
Built-in horizontal section slider, per-storey toggles, and element-kind filters make it easy to review one floor at a time or focus on MEP coordination.
On upload, the worker pre-generates per-storey glTF chunks. The browser uses GLTFLoader directly, skipping client-side triangulation and keeping initial render fast even on multi-thousand-element models.
Generate a share link (project scope) that recipients can open without logging in. Revoke any time. Perfect for client review and sub-contractor handoff.
IFC upload, 3D viewing, properties, share links, and issues are all free during the open beta. No credit card, no feature gating.
Even on multi-thousand-element models, show only what matters
Adjust the horizontal section plane via slider or numeric input. Storey snapping makes it easy to flip between every floor's reflected ceiling plan and floor plan.
Plan view includes axis grids, dimension lines, and snap targets (endpoints, grids, 500 mm baseline). Make small edits during a meeting and they reflect in 3D immediately.
Not just a viewer. Author, review, validate, and share architectural BIM — entirely in the browser.
Draw walls, slabs, columns, beams, roofs, stairs, and grids in plan view. Full Undo/Redo.
