Your Web-Based IFC Viewer with IDS Editor and Checker

Sortdesk provides a comprehensive, browser-based solution for viewing, managing, and validating IFC files. Our platform is designed to streamline your BIM workflows, with a particular emphasis on ensuring model quality and compliance through our powerful IDS editor and checker.

Whether you're exploring complex models or validating your designs against specific Information Delivery Specifications (IDS), Sortdesk enables you to work efficiently—all without the need for heavy software installations. Simply open your browser and get started.

Key Features:

1. Full IDS Editor and Validator

• Easily create, edit, and validate IDS files directly in the browser. No need for complex XML editing—our intuitive interface allows you to visually define and customize your IDS files for seamless project compliance.
• Validate your IFC models against these IDS files to ensure that all elements meet project requirements and industry standards.
• Get real-time feedback on compliance issues, with clear, actionable results. Identify non-conforming elements quickly and fix them efficiently within your workflow.

2. Web-Based IFC Viewer

• View and navigate IFC models effortlessly using our fast, web-based viewer. No installations or heavy desktop software are required—simply load your models in the browser.
• Use powerful tools such as sectioning, measurement, plan viewing, and object tree navigation to explore your BIM models in detail.
• Keep your data safe and secure. When you work with local files, they remain entirely on your device and are never uploaded to a server.

3. Data Extraction and Analysis

• Extract critical data from your IFC models and export it to Excel or CSV for further analysis and reporting.
• Easily generate quantity take-offs and other reports to ensure that your projects stay on track and within budget.

4. Seamless Autodesk Integration

• Sortdesk integrates smoothly with your Autodesk workflows, enabling easy validation and compliance checks within your design environment.
• Open IFC models directly in Sortdesk from Autodesk tools, and validate your designs without needing to switch between multiple applications.

To connect your Autodesk account, simply install the app from the store. You can then click on the Autodesk button in our Cloud Library, and authenticate your Autodesk account. Once this is done, you can browse through all the files of your ACC projects.

5. Privacy-First Design

• We prioritize user privacy and security. When using Sortdesk, your data is never uploaded to our servers unless you choose to sync files to our cloud service. Work with local IFC files securely and efficiently.
