Bimpk file spec

A bimpk file is a package file that stores BIM model data you extract from a CAD application for the platform to consume. On the platform, applications such as digital twins use this model data to display interactive model geometry and element properties to users.

Who should use this guide

Currently platform provides IPA plug-ins for following CAD applications, and they generate bimpk file when exporting model data.

• Revit
• AutoCAD
• Civil3D
• IPA IFC Extractor

If you are going to develop function to export model from other CAD application which is not yet supported and want to upload it to platform, you may output the model data in the required bimpk format and data structure – this guide describes that data format and structure.

For an overview of the bimpk file structure, see Bimpk file structure.
