Getting Started

1. Convert Your BIM File to an Excel File

Since Power BI doesn't support IFC files directly, you'll first need to export your BIM model as an Excel file.

Here's how:

1. Follow the Getting Started Guide.

2. In the top-right menu, go to File → Export → 3rd Party Connectors → Power BI.

   

3. Select the BIM model you wish to export.

4. Choose the properties you want to include in the Excel file.

   • Example 1: To export Name and OverallHeight for all doors:

     

   • Example 2: To export Elevation values for all building storeys:

     

5. Want to export only a part of your model, such as a single storey? Use the Object Tree to hide elements and activate the Only export visible elements option (Learn more).

6. Click Download to get your Excel file.

2. Visualize Your BIM Data in Power BI

Once you have your Excel file:

1. Import the Excel file into Power BI.

2. Install the Three BI visual from the marketplace or your local files.

3. Add the visual to your report.

4. Map your dataset fields to the visual. It's important to map all geometry columns to avoid visualization issues.

   

5. Your BIM model should now appear inside Power BI, fully interactive!

3. Create Interactive Dashboards

Enhance your Power BI reports by combining the Three BI visual with other standard charts, such as:

• Pie Chart Example:

  

• Bar Chart Example:

  

These charts can filter and interact with your BIM model, offering deeper insights and a more dynamic reporting experience.
