How to make CSV from IFC schema?

Hey all, new guy here.

I am having difficulty understanding the exact structure of the IFC because I cant seem to get at it. I dont know which program (excel, librecalc, or database) I need to use to create the tables and start to build out a custom IFC template.

I had seen that something like this was done previously by some nordic BIM guys where they used a spreadsheet to outline some proposed landscape ifc categories.

Here is the process I am seeking: (using FOSS if possible)
.ifc/.xsd >>> .csv >>> .ifc >>> blender library

Is this a workflow that is possible? Is there a better way?
Thank you!
God bless.

  • Hey there @Elevation ! I think you need to be more specific, are you trying to extract data from an IFC file or dataset into a CSV? Or are you trying to describe the IFC schema in a spreadsheet-like format? There is IfcCSV which converts to and from IFC and CSV.
