bim

🏗️ A fast, safe, and extensible Building Information Modeling (BIM) toolkit for Rust.

Overview

bim is a Rust crate for parsing, processing, and analyzing Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, with first-class support for the IFC open standard.
Designed for digital construction, AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction), and automation scenarios.

• ⚡ High performance: Memory-safe and efficient, thanks to Rust.
• 🗂️ IFC parsing: Read and traverse IFC STEP files (.ifc).
• 🔗 Interoperable: Integrate with visualization, analytics, and cloud services.
• 🧩 Extensible: Modular design for future BIM standards and formats.
• 🌐 WASM-ready: Compile to WebAssembly for web applications.

Features

• IFC STEP file parsing and basic entity access
• Traverse and query IFC data as Rust structs
• Utilities for BIM model inspection
• Designed for easy extension (future: gbXML, RVT, COBie, etc.)

Planned

• IFC4 full support
• Property and geometry extraction
• IFC export/generation
• 3D engine integration (Bevy, three-d, etc)
• WebAssembly demo
