Translations:Arch IFC/6/en

The importer is still a work in progress, and depends on an external piece of open-source software, called IfcOpenShell, which is not bundled with FreeCAD and must be installed on your system. If IfcOpenShell is correctly installed, it will be detected by FreeCAD and used to import IFC files. It is still possible to force the use of the old python IFC importer, which doesn't depend on IfcOpenShell, by enabling the related option in the Arch preferences settings. But this importer has been discontinued and will only be able to import a small subset of IFC objects.
