The IFC JAVA Toolbox can read IFC STEP files and IFCZIP files from any data source that implements
java.io.InputStream (e.g. a local file from the file system, a remote file on a web server or a
file stored in a database). After calling one of the following read-methods, the toolbox loads the IFC
file and initializes the described IFC entities. Those objects can be accessed and manipulated using
the IfcModel’s methods. The following lines of code demonstrate how to read IFC STEP files from
different data sources:
//create a new instance of IfcModel IfcModel ifcModel = new IfcModel(); //load an IFC STEP file from the file system File stepFile = new File("C:\myfile.ifc"); ifcModel.readStepFile(stepFile); //... or load an IFC STEP file from a web server URL stepURL = new URL("http://www.myifchomepage.com/myifcstepfile"); ifcModel.readStepFile(stepURL); //... or load an IFC STEP file from any other data source, //that implements java.io.InputStream (e.g. database connection) InputStream stepStream = myDBconnection.getStepFile("1234"); ifcModel.readStepFile(stepStream);
