How to Open IFC Files Without Revit

IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) files are the universal standard for BIM (Building Information Modeling) data exchange. They're used by architects, structural engineers, and construction professionals worldwide. But opening them typically requires expensive software like Autodesk Revit ($2,545/year), ArchiCAD ($4,020/year), or Solibri.

The Problem

You've received an IFC file from a colleague, contractor, or client. Maybe you just need to quickly preview the model, check coordination, or verify a design — but you don't have Revit installed, or your license expired.
