IfcPlusPlus
Description
IFC++ or IfcPlusPlus is a open source (MIT license) viewer for IFC files from the IfcQuery project. It can be used to compare the performance of other viewers and editors of IFC data, like Blender and FreeCAD, which use IfcOpenShell.
Installation
IfcPlusPlus must be compiled from source.
It requires the OpenSceneGraph library for visualization, as well as the development files for Boost and Qt 5. If you have already compiled FreeCAD in Linux, or IfcOpenShell, you may already have all the prerequisites, except for the OpenSceneGraph development files.
sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qt5-qmake qttools5-dev libqt5widgets5 libqt5opengl5-dev
sudo apt install libopenscenegraph-3.4-dev
git clone https://github.com/berndhahnebach/ifcplusplus/ ifcpp
