BIMCamel
BIMCamel is a free set of online BIM tools that run in your browser. Open an IFC
model, validate it against IDS, run clash detection, clean it, merge or split it,
and convert it to glTF, Excel, DXF or COBie. A Navisworks plugin converts NWD and
NWC files to IFC. 58 tools, no installation, no licence seat. A sample building is
loaded, so you can see any tool work before uploading your own. Guests get 3 runs
a day at 50 MB, and every tool is free on every tier.

BIMCamel Overview
BIMCamel is a set of free online BIM tools that run in your browser. Open an IFC
model, check it, clean it, convert it, and download the result — no installation,
no licence seat, and no account needed for your first run. There is a sample
building loaded and ready, so you can see any tool work before you upload
anything of your own.
Fifty-eight tools cover the jobs an IFC actually lands on your desk for:
View and inspect. A free online IFC viewer that opens IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4x3
models, with an element inspector for properties, quantities and spatial
structure.
Validate and check. IDS validation against buildingSMART Information Delivery
Specifications, plus an IDS maker if you don't have one yet. Clash detection and
clearance checks. Model health checks covering geometry, schema identity,
spatial structure, coordinates, data completeness, level and unit consistency,
and performance. Discipline checks for fire egress, fire compartmentation,
accessibility, space programme and load-bearing continuity.
Clean and slim. Reduce IFC file size, simplify geometry, deep clean, strip
drawing layers, delete elements or property sets, keep only physical elements.
Restructure. Merge IFC files, split a model by storey or discipline, manage
storeys, transform geometry, convert units, edit georeferencing, upgrade or
downgrade schema version, anonymise a model before sharing, bulk rename
elements.
Data in and out. Extract IFC data, IFC to Excel and Excel to IFC, quantity
takeoff, base quantities, add and edit property sets.
Convert. IFC to glTF, OBJ, STEP, DXF, CAD drawings, COBie and AVEVA E3D.
Compare and coordinate. Diff two IFC revisions, raise and export BCF issues,
share a model by link.
Desktop plugins. A Navisworks exporter that converts NWD and NWC files to IFC,
and Dyncamelo, visual programming for Navisworks 2024.
Every tool is available on every tier. Paid plans lift quantity, not capability.
Guests get 3 runs a day with 50 MB uploads; a free account raises that to 10 runs
a day with 100 MB. Pro allows 500 MB and Team 1 GB. There is no trial clock and
no watermarks.
Files are uploaded over HTTPS and processed on our servers. Guest uploads are
stream-only — working files are deleted as soon as your download finishes. Free
accounts keep results for 7 days, Pro 90 days, Team 180 days. Files are never
shared with third parties or used to train AI.
BIMCamel is built for the people who get sent an IFC at 7pm: solo architects and
engineers, small studios, and the BIM coordinator who is also the drafter.

FAQ
Yes. Every tool — viewer, IDS, clash, estimate, conversion, the 40+ utilities — runs on Free. Pro just lifts the file size from 100 MB to 500 MB, removes the monthly run limit, keeps your files indefinitely and saves your automation pipelines. Pro comes with a 14-day free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
EU regions only (Frankfurt & Amsterdam). Guest: streamed, no storage. Free: 7 days. Pro/Team: kept until you delete them. Never used for AI training.
On Pro, yes — up to 500 MB per file. The viewer streams geometry in chunks and the spatial index lives on the server, so the browser tab stays responsive even on big models.
Yes. Every output is OpenBIM (IFC, BCF 2.1, glTF, OBJ, STEP, COBie). Import a .bcfzip from any BCF-compatible tool, work on it in a room, export it back. Navisworks support comes through the open-source Navisworks → IFC plug-in.
