BIM Software Resources
Notes:
- These resources in Step 3 are optional templates created to help
users embed and export IFC-SG regulatory data requirements as indicated
in Step 2. Firms may use your own in-house templates instead, as long
as your CORENET X submission models contain the relevant data in Step 2.
