IFC to Power BI
Upload an .ifc file and get a Power BI report that still understands the model behind the numbers.
Almost nothing connects the two.
The usual route is a manual export, a hand-built lookup table, and a report that goes stale the moment a new model version lands. Frame's IFC engine reads the file directly and prepares the assets, properties, and storey context a report actually needs — with the 3D viewer attached, so a number in a chart still leads back to the objects that produced it.
Drop in an .ifc file and pick the Frame engine. No Autodesk credentials, no exporter plugin, no translation workflow to set up first.
Frame processes the file into model data, report artifacts, and viewer context. Inspect the geometry, objects, and properties in the browser before you report on any of it.
Open the report template dialog for the model and choose the IFC Starter Template. It arrives with assets, properties, storey context, filters, and the Frame viewer already wired to your model.
Upload the .ifc file to Frame and select the Frame engine. Frame processes it into prepared model data, then you open the IFC starter template from the report dialog for that model. There is no manual export and no intermediate spreadsheet to maintain.
No. The Frame engine reads IFC directly, so open-format models from ArchiCAD, Tekla, Allplan, Vectorworks, or any other IFC-capable tool can be reported on without Autodesk credentials or an authoring licence.
Model assets and their properties, object categories and building-storey context, filters for narrowing a review set, and a 3D viewer for checking the selected objects. It is a base for practical IFC review that you extend with your own cost, schedule, or project data.
Yes. The Free plan includes one model slot, one Power BI report slot, the IFC starter template, and the Frame viewer. The included Power BI path is designed for IFC files processed by the Frame engine — Autodesk-translated models follow their own upload and credential requirements.
