@esther,

There is no built-in connector for IFC Standard in Power BI Desktop, please cntact IFC support if it has REST API or database behind it. it is possible to connect straight to the REST API or the database from Power BI Desktop.

Hello

There are some ways to parse the IFC and do some data analysis using third-party (also opensource) software. e.g. https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/ifcopenshell-jupyterhub

You can drop me an email for further info: post.ddemin@gmail.com

Hi,
I would like to reactivates the discussion on this topic, I also interested in having an integration between IFC and power bi custom visuals, of which allow to control the 3d behaves within a power bi dashboard. It would really appreciated.

Thanks alot

Hi @elsabeeh,

 

Take a look at this post:

BEXEL Manager & Power BI integration

 

It covers the integration of Power BI with BEXEL Manager`s clash detection analysis, including the IFC model viewer. There are also other Power BI dashboards for different BIM analyses.

 

Hopefully, this can be of use.
