Convert IFC to IGES
| File Extension | IFC |
| Full Name | Industry Foundation Classes Format |
File with an .IFC extension contains a model of an object or a building and description of spatial elements, shapes and materials that should be used, according to the inter-platform format utilised by BIM software.
| File Extension | IGES |
| Full Name | Initial Graphics Exchange Specification Format |
IGES is an extension given to files used by CAD graphics design programs. IGES are files that are a data exchange format between applications. This can be information about 2D graphics and 3D models (shapes, dimensions, properties).
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "IFC") to another (referred to as "IGES"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, IFC file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format IFC to format IGES becomes essential.
So, how can we perform IFC to IGES file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format IFC and transforming it into format IGES. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of IFC to IGES converters.

How to convert the IFC file to IGES?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of IFC to IGES. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the IFC file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file IFC, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the IFC file to the application
- Select the output format of the IGES file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file IGES on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted IGES file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
