BCF Export Reviews & Product Details

BCF export is basically a file format used to export coordination models information and data without actually exporting a 3D model. It contains information like issue description, snapshots, comments, creation date etc which helps to communicate information through your 3D model as IFC only transfers the 3D geometry and structures.

One of the major drawbacks of BCF is it is file based which involves older versions of the file also being circulated. They should focus on cloud based system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BCF can be used to deliver the information of all coordination related queries. The major advantage of using BCF rather than NWC is that it won't require 3D space. It was majorly be used for issue tracking in the building information model. It is primarily used in my organization for defining views of a building model and the information related to the collisions or errors in the specific object in a view. There are several plugins with this format to be used in the various other modeling BIM software such as Tekla, Revit, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The major thing I dislike about BCF is that it is completely a file-based format which can easily be either an older version also. Although now there are some major upgrades over the last few years, it is not as easy handling as the other types of formats available in the market right now.
