bViewer - IFC Model Viewer

View IFC BIM models, point clouds and 360 images. Check models against scans, wall verticality and floor flatness. Files stay local.

bViewer lets you open IFC BIM models, laser scan point clouds and 360° scan images straight in Chrome - no software to install, no account and no uploads. Everything runs on your own computer, so your files never leave it. Made by Bury Associates, UK measured building and land surveyors, for architects, engineers, surveyors, contractors and clients who need to look at, check and report on BIM models and scan data quickly. VIEW AND EXPLORE IFC MODELS - Open IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3 models from Revit, ArchiCAD or any BIM package - several at once - Browse by site, building, storey and IFC class; search by name, class or GlobalId - Click any element to see its properties and quantities - Hide, isolate, X-ray and colour elements; storey plans; hide everything above or below a level - Sections, Clip Box and Polygon Clip to cut into the model - Orbit, pan and zoom, view cube, orthographic and perspective views, view history - Eye level: click a floor - even through a wall or window - and look round from 1.5 m, or walk with W A S D POINT CLOUDS - Open E57 and LAS point clouds alongside your models, in their real coordinates - Eye-dome lighting (EDL) for clearer, more readable scans - Align models and clouds to each other, or move them onto your own grid, then export them in their new positions 360 SCAN IMAGES - Open 360° panoramas from your scan stations, placed in their real position and orientation - Click a point in the model to open the nearest image on that level; step through images with the arrow keys - Fade the image to see the model behind it; measure, add points and comments in the image view - Built-in help with instructions to copy into your AI assistant, to make an image package from Trimble, Leica, FARO, Z+F and other scanners CHECK MODEL ACCURACY (ΔModel) - Compare an IFC model with a point cloud, or with another model - Heat maps of the differences, live check under the cursor and check nearest points - Clash check - elements coloured green (clear), orange (near) or red (touching) against the point cloud or another model, with distances you set - Hide the parts of the scan that are already modelled, to see what is missing WALL VERTICALITY AND FLOOR FLATNESS (ΔPlane) - Pick a wall or floor and see its deviations from vertical or level as a heat map with a grid of values - Flat-on orthographic view of the plane - Reports as PDF (with or without the grid of values), DXF and CSV MEASURE AND MARK UP - Distance (single or running), vertical, horizontal and area measurements, snapping to corners and edges - Point coordinates and comments - each remembers the view it was made from, so you can go straight back to it - Screen grabs collected into a multi-page PDF REPORTS AND EXPORTS - A4 and A3 PDF sheets with a title block and comments - PNG screenshots, element and property lists to CSV - Save a project - views, hidden items, sections, clip box, comments and measurements - and re-open it later, or open a whole project folder of models, clouds and images in one go PRIVATE BY DESIGN bViewer does not upload, collect or share anything. Models, scans and images are read from your own computer and stay there. It works offline once installed. Find out more: https://www.buryassociates.co.uk/bviewer/
