OpenBIM FAQs

Question 1

What is OpenBIM?

Accepted Answer

OpenBIM is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to process Building Information Modeling (BIM) data. It allows developers to convert IFC files, load efficient fragment data, and perform detailed queries on BIM elements.

Question 2

What types of BIM elements can I query using OpenBIM?

Accepted Answer

You can query BIM elements by their IFC category, such as walls (IFCWALL), doors (IFCDOOR), windows (IFCWINDOW), slabs, beams, columns, and spaces. Queries can also include configurable attributes and relations.

Question 3
