Bring multiple IFC disciplines together, review loaded model information and manage visibility. Export a combined federation and supported federation summaries.
An optional Pro Tool inside the Apple IFC Viewer app. This page is a product guide.
Federator supports multi-model review inside IFC Viewer. Import the IFC models that belong in the coordination set, review them together, and control individual model visibility while checking the loaded model information.
The inspected workflow is about review and supported export, not automatic model repair. Coordinate alignment, units, schema compatibility and source model quality still matter.
Federation analysis can report model metadata, units, coordinate and extent symptoms, overlap against a reference model and export readiness warnings. That gives a reviewer context before exporting supported federation summaries or a combined IFC output.
The combined IFC export route is bounded: it requires multiple readable IFC sources and compatible shared schema conditions. Unsupported source combinations should be treated as a finding, not something to force silently.
Federator is most useful when paired with Coordinate Checker, Clash Detection and Model Compare. Those tools answer adjacent questions: do the models line up, do they interfere, and what changed between revisions?
The Federator workflow supports importing multiple IFC models and exporting supported combined federation outputs where source conditions allow it.
No. The tool can report coordinate and extent symptoms, but this page does not claim automatic coordinate correction.
Check source model readability, schema compatibility, units, coordinate context, extents, warnings and whether the models represent the same coordination intent.
