Thank you for downloading 3DBI for IFC.
By using 3DBI for IFC you agree to the End User License Agreement that can be found on our website: https://informaxyz.com/eula-3dbi/

HOW-TO use 3DBI for IFC:
1. Drag an drop a (or multiple aspect model) .ifc file(s) directly on the executable "3DBI for IFC.exe" that can be found in the same folder as this readme.
2. 3DBI for IFC will process the contents and generate 2 new files: 
	1. a .3dbi file, which contains your .ifc file's geometry
	2. a .json file that contains all properties about every IFC item that the tool was able to detect.
3. Finally, you can use the shipped "example.pbix" file as a template to load in your data (stored in the .json file) and your geometry (stored in the .3dbi file)

HOW-TO automate the conversion of .ifc files to .3dbi and .json files:
Instead of dragging and dropping .ifc files onto the 3DBI for IFC executable, you can automate it by passing 1 or multiple paths to it through the Command Line Interface, for example: "3DBI for IFC.exe" "path to ifc file.ifc" "path to second ifc file.ifc"
