Reader Overview
The IFC reader will automatically detect the version of the IFC file it is reading, by analyzing the file header.
The reader supports all IFC versions.
The value for the reader dataset is the path to the .ifc source data file. If the data file does not exist, or if the file is unrecognized by the reader, then the translation will fail.
IFC 3D element geometry will be represented as 3D surfaces and solids on features.
