Unity is a powerful development environment for developing and building applications for building information because of its ease of handling geometry data. Unfortunately, it does not have a native interface for importing IFC files. Our plugin bridges this gap and allows easy import of IFC files with geometry and semantics. This not only enables the display of the data, but also forms the basis for further activities, such as editing the building information. For a correct display, materials are also loaded, which can be provided with textures.
