Table Mode

IV can also be used in Table Mode, which lets you view the elements in a tabular format, bypassing the need to render the IFC model in the viewer. This is especially useful when dealing with large IFC files that may be too demanding for the viewer to render. Processing the IFC file is also significantly faster in Table Mode. Similar to the sandbox viewer mode, no data is stored, and the IFC file is processed locally in your browser.

Functionality

The table mode interface is similar to viewer mode, except for the 3D viewer and its controls. The same results panel and properties panel are available.

Federation

In Table Mode, you can import multiple IFC files, allowing you to view different model’s elements. Validation will be performed all on the imported IFC files.

There is little incentive to validate multiple IFC files at once, as the validation results is dependent on individual IFC files. It is recommended to validate one IFC file at a time, since rules for each IFC file may differ.
