Construction Planning Workbench: Software Testing at Woods Bagot David Marchant, Woods Bagot Pty Limited Gerardo Trinidad, CSIRO Manufacturing & Infrastructure Technology

Summary Woods Bagot undertook to test the various CPW modules in-house. They were able to successfully view and manipulate the models with the test data provided. They then proceeded to create an IFC file from an ArchiCAD model of the Brisbane City Council fit out project as a test of an actual project. The IFC file was an extraction of the whole model, which just included slabs and walls on Level 6 (See Figure 1). This file was successfully created using the “File/Save As� command in ArchiCAD and saving as an IFC version 2x edition 2. This saves the 3D building model as an IFC STEP file (See Figure 2).
