Free online IFC viewer + 40+ BIM tools — BIM, finally on the web.
BIMCamel is a free online BIM toolbox. Start in the free IFC viewer — no account, no install, a sample building already loaded — then reach for whichever of the 40+ IFC tools the job needs: IDS validation, clash detection, model cleanup and repair, format conversion, merge / split, property editing, and data extraction. Free, private, and nothing to install: files auto-delete after their retention window and are never used to train AI.
What you can do
- View IFC online — drop an IFC2x3, IFC4, or IFC4.3 file and explore it with the project tree, properties, sectioning, and shareable viewer links. No account needed.
- All 40+ free tools — the full catalogue: validate, clash-check, optimise, convert, merge, split, edit properties, repair, and extract data — every one runs in your browser.
- Validate & detect clashes — buildingSMART IDS, model health audits, clash detection between disciplines, clearance / egress checks, with an exportable coordination report.
- Edit & clean the model — add, edit and rename property sets, purge orphans, repair GUIDs, strip sensitive psets, and cut file size 30–70%.
- Convert IFC — glTF, OBJ, STEP, COBie, CAD drawings, schema upgrades.
- Review together — invite anyone with a link into a BCF room, no install to join.
- Run tools in bulk — chain any tools into a saved pipeline and process whole folders.
- Compare BIMCamel to the alternatives — Solibri, Navisworks, BIMcollab, BIM Vision, usBIM and more, with what each does better, what it costs, and the date every fact was checked.
New tools
- Convert Navisworks file to IFC online — upload an NWD and download an IFC, all online. You do not need Navisworks installed, and properties, materials and the model hierarchy are kept. Open the tool.
- Convert Revit file to IFC online — upload an RVT and download an IFC, all online. You do not need Revit installed, and levels, parameters, materials and Revit's own GlobalIds are kept. Open the tool.
- Revit version converter — save an RVT for an older Revit, so a model from a colleague on a newer Revit opens on yours. You get an editable RVT back, and you do not need Revit installed.
- IFC, RVT, NWD viewer — open IFC, Revit and Navisworks models in the browser, with the model tree and every property. How it works for Revit RVT files and Navisworks NWD files.
Built for the community
The plug-in's job lives inside Autodesk Navisworks, so it is a desktop download. If you only have the NWD file and no Navisworks, the online Navisworks to IFC converter does the conversion in your browser instead, and the online Revit to IFC converter does the same for an RVT. The plug-in is free for everyone, personally and commercially, and its source is published as MIT open source.
- Navisworks Files to IFC Exporter — export NWD, NWF and NWC to IFC 2x3 or IFC 4 with geometry, property sets, classifications and the federation hierarchy intact. Free and open source under the MIT licence, with no licence server and no telemetry, for Navisworks 2024–2027.

Free, private, nothing to install
Every tool works on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, and iPad — no installs, no plug-ins, no per-seat license arithmetic. Viewing needs no signup at all. Your files stay private: short retention windows, auto-deletion, cookieless analytics, and never any AI training on your models. OpenBIM round-tripping (IFC2x3, IFC4, BCF 2.1, IDS) keeps every output compatible with standards-based BIM authoring, coordination, and validation tools.
