in Leapfrog
Is it possible to import ifc data (BIM format) into Leapfrog Works? I know you can export into ifc but not sure about the import.

    Hi Ferdinand, 

    It's not possible to import IFC data into Leapfrog Works at the moment. However, we are looking at enabling this at some point in the future, for now the best options are dwg, dxf and dgn. 

    Cheers,
    Jason

    Hi Jason 
    Are you able to specify, when this "point in the future" might be? 
    Thanks and Cheers

    Hi,
    bumping this to raise attention. It's very important to actually work on complex geotechnical problems.

    Kind regards,
    Chris

    Hi, I would also like to raise this issue. To import ifc-designs would be excellent. Any update on a timeline for implementation?
    Kind regards, Ulrich

     You can export them but not import them so I'd also like to see this

    Hi, how is the ifc-import coming for designs? It is heavily needed as its the natural format now in all our BIM projects.

    Also would like this to be implemented, if possible, will be very useful when dealing with large projects.

    Hi, this topic has been required for more than three years. Civil works are being delivered in IFC format as a standard nowadays. Is there a date for IFC import into Leapfrog Works? Hope it arrives soon. Regards.
    Javier.

    Hi, fyi, here the answer from the support in November 2023:

    "unfortunately we do not have this planned in the pipeline, thus no timeline for this.We can vote for it in our requests platform. Normally different requests are prioritized based on the number of votes and requests we receive. So I will add an additional vote for this."

    As of July 2024 I was verbally informed by Seequent Support that there are currently still no plans (edit: or rather "no timeframe") on implementing this.

    Consider this a vote for implementation of IFC import. Working on road/tunnel projects, it is essential to be able to import IFC-files

    We have now 2025! Happy new year to everybody.

    I look forward to a historic 2025, where Seequent will (hopefully) implement IFC import in Leapfrog works! One vote from my side!

    Please consider my vote also for an IFC-import for the market in Germay, Austria and Switzerland from Geolink Software, your Seequent Channel Partner in this region.
