Export Revit to IFC and view your model in a browser
IFC is an open format used across BIM applications. A well-prepared Revit export lets you explore the project by floor and element type, inspect its properties, and give your client a walkthrough on their phone.
The viewer interface is in Spanish; English coming soon

Open the 3D view you want to share
In Revit, open a 3D view and hide anything you do not want to present, such as placeholder furniture, meshes and annotations. The viewer displays the content you export.
Go to File → Export → IFC
Choose a folder and a short filename in the IFC export dialog, for example house-lopez.ifc.
Choose IFC 2x3 Coordination View 2.0 or IFC4
Both work in the viewer. IFC 2x3 CV 2.0 is a widely compatible option; IFC4 can preserve some curved geometry better. If IFC4 Reference View is unavailable in your Revit setup, choose another supported preset.
Export only the elements visible in the view
Under Modify Setup, enable the options to export only elements visible in the view and to export Revit property sets. This keeps the file smaller while retaining the information you want to share.
Open the file in the viewer
Go to drbstudio.mx/visor and drop the IFC into the window, or select “Abrir mi proyecto” (Open my project). The model is processed in your browser; opening it does not upload the file to a server.
Add the project details and save your views
Enter the project name, your name or practice, and the site location. The viewer uses the location to look up the available OpenStreetMap surroundings and calculate the sun position. Then save the views you want to present.
Good to know
- For larger files, try hiding generic furniture before exporting. It can add considerable weight without helping explain the design.
- If the IFC retains coordinates near Madrid, check the site address rather than assuming those coordinates match your project. Enter the actual project address, whether it is in Madrid or elsewhere.
Try it with your own project, free and without an account. Models open in your browser; external services are explained in the privacy notice.
