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

  • Swept path vehicle tracking — draw a route over an IFC model and see the area a truck, bus, fire appliance or articulated lorry sweeps, turn by turn, with a clearance check. Open the tool.
  • Clash Matrix Maker — set out which groups of elements are tested against which in one grid, import or export Excel and clash-test XML, or run the hard-clash tests on an IFC model. Open the tool.
  • IFC to Revit — rebuild an IFC as native, editable Revit elements instead of a linked mesh. Scan your file in the browser first. Scan your IFC.
  • CamelGraph — a node canvas docked inside Navisworks 2024–2026. Wire 589 nodes to search a federated model, colour it, build selection sets, triage clashes and round-trip BCF 2.1. Free for personal use. Get CamelGraph.

Built for the community

The job this tool does lives inside Autodesk Navisworks, so it is not in the browser. It 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.
