 * Select the top object you want to export, that is, the Building object.
 * Select menu File -> Export -> Industry Foundation Classes and save your file.
 * The resulting IFC file can now be opened in a wide range of applications and viewers (the image below shows the file opened in the free IfcPlusPlus viewer). Checking the exported file in such a viewer application before distributing it to other people is important to check that all the data contained in the file is correct. FreeCAD itself can also be used to re-open the resulting IFC file.
