IDS Inspector

BIMGuard

Validate your Autodesk® Revit® model against buildingSMART IDS — before you export IFC.

$15.00/month

Check your live Autodesk® Revit® model against buildingSMART IDS (Information Delivery Specification) files without exporting IFC first. Pass/fail per spec, parameter→IFC mapping, and HTML/Excel/JSON/BCF reports. Read-only and safe on live models.

Stop auditing your data twice. Today most teams check Revit parameters, export to IFC, then re-audit the IFC against an IDS — two systems, slow round-trips, and errors found too late.

Revit IDS Inspector runs the IDS check inside Revit, against the live model, so you fix data at the source.

Load any buildingSMART IDS 1.0 file and the add-in:

- maps Revit elements to IFC entities (honouring your `IfcExportAs` overrides),

- resolves Revit parameters to IFC property-sets and properties (with a customisable mapping for

your firm's shared parameters),

- evaluates every specification — entity, attribute, property, classification, material and part-of facets, with required / optional / prohibited cardinality and full XSD value restrictions (enumerations, patterns, numeric bounds, length),

- and reports pass/fail per specification, down to the individual element and the exact value that failed.

Reports your clients accept. Export a branded, self-contained HTML report, an Excel/CSV issue log, JSON for CI pipelines, or BCF issues to open straight in BIMcollab, Solibri or Revit's BCF Manager.

Safe by design. Validation is read-only — it never modifies your model — so you can run it on live coordination models any time.

Works across your estate. Native support for Revit 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027.
