Convert IFC to FrameCAD XML for Free
Upload a supported IFC framing model, review its extracted walls, trusses and joists, then download FrameCAD XML at no cost. This path does not create machine CSV.
Free IFC to XML handoff
IFC is the open BIM exchange format used to share structural models from design tools such as Revit, Vertex BD and Tekla. LGSConverter reads supported light-gauge-steel framing models, groups members into frames, and creates FrameCAD XML for a downstream Detailer workflow.
IFC to FrameCAD XML is free. FrameCAD XML to machine CSV is US$0.03 per linear metre; reviewing the project is free. Existing account credits may apply.
What LGSConverter handles in IFC
- Wall panels, roof trusses, and floor joists — including stepped and set-down joists
- FrameCAD Detailer IFC exports with full member naming preserved
- Generic IFC from other authoring tools (classification is geometry-driven)
- Metric and imperial files — units are detected automatically
Review before downloading
Review the extracted frames in the 2D editor, exclude frames that are not ready, and run the QA report before downloading the XML package. IFC-to-machine-CSV is not offered. To create machine CSV, use a FrameCAD XML export.
Need machine-ready CSV?
Use the separate FrameCAD XML to machine CSV workflow. It is billed at US$0.03 per linear metre, with existing account credits applied under the current account terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does IFC conversion produce machine CSV?
No. IFC conversion produces FrameCAD XML for free. Machine CSV is available from FrameCAD XML exports.
Does it handle imperial-unit IFC files?
Yes — inch and foot based IFC files are detected automatically and converted to millimetres internally.
What does the free IFC conversion include?
It extracts supported framing into FrameCAD XML and lets you review the frames before download. It does not charge LM or produce machine CSV.
