Automatic conversion of CityGML to IFC

The trend of increased usage of both BIM and 3D GIS and the similarity between the two has led to an increase in the overlap between them. A key application of such overlap is providing geospatial context data for BIM models through importing 3D GIS-data to BIM software to help in different design-related issues. However, this is currently...

Automatic Conversion of CityGML to IFC

This study presents a methodology to convert from the most dominant 3D city model standard in 3D GIS to BIM. Namely, CityGML to IFC. IFC is chosen because it is the common open standard to exchange data in the BIM world. For the aim of this study, the two standards are divided into 5 comparable sub-parts; Semantics, Geometry, Geographical...
