BCF issue review for IFC coordination findings, comments, viewpoints and archive export.

Keep coordination findings structured

BCF Issue Tracker keeps issue details close to the model review workflow. It supports importing BCF archives, reviewing topics, comments, viewpoints and snapshots where available, and exporting issue information for the next stage of coordination.

This page describes a local issue-review workflow in IFC Viewer. It does not claim live multi-user issue hosting or replacement for a project-wide common data environment.

Turn supported findings into issues

Other IFC Viewer workflows can stage supported findings for BCF review. The issue tracker can then preserve the issue title, description, status, priority, assignee, labels, comments and viewpoint context where those fields are available.

Because BCF content varies by source and version, the wording stays tied to supported archives and supported finding handoff routes.

Review before sharing

A useful BCF package should be checked before it leaves the reviewer. Open the issue, confirm the model context, inspect comments and snapshots, then export a project or issue archive where supported.

Tool questions

Common review questions.

Can I import and export BCF archives?

The current product workflow supports importing, reviewing and exporting BCF issue archives where supported.

Does BCF Issue Tracker provide live collaboration?

No. The public page describes local import, review, edit and export workflows, not a hosted issue server.

Which tools feed issues into BCF?

Supported findings from coordination and review workflows can be sent into the BCF issue route. Clash Detection and Model Compare are common companions.
