In recent years, the applications of BIM technology in the construction industry has attracted increasing domestic and international attentions, which is definitely becoming the future trend of construction technology.As the first step in BIM implementation, the creation of the BIM model is of great significance to the successful application and promotion of BIM. The IFC data criterion, as an international common BIM basic data format, enables the BIM model following such IFC format to transfer and exchange information among different AEC engineering software. However, different software currently support the IFC formats at different scopes and for different degrees. This paper collates and analyzes the IFC2X3 support statistics in the current mainstream BIM software of Coordination View Certification 2.0 project in Building SMART, and obtains a BIM modeling software selection method based on the IFC certification, providing a software reference for BIM applications with different project characteristics, and promoting the development of IFC criterions and the popularity of BIM technology.
