I want to convert icf files to objs, to that effect I want to use this tool:
https://ifcopenshell.org/downloads.html

I installed it through python like this: pip install ifcopenshell

However, I am unable to call any of the utilities the tool claims to have. In particular, I cannot do ifcconvert from the terminal.

I am not sure what I am missing.

  • What do you mean "I cannot do ifcconvert from the terminal"? What do you do exactly and what does the computer respond?

  • It doesn't show as an available command. There's no auto complete and which does not return anything.

Download the zip from here. Then extract the binary file from the zip and place it is a directory, say .local/bin . Assure the directory is in PATH. In order to do that open .bashrc file from the home directory. Add the line to end of the file:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Now open terminal and restart bash: bash --

Now type IfcConvert --help to check it is working.
