What format does Roiko export to?

Roiko exports models to IFC4, the open BIM exchange format that Revit, Tekla and other BIM tools read. IFC4 is a file rather than a plugin — Roiko does not install into those applications.

Can Roiko import an existing model?

Yes. An architect's IFC model or a surveyor's DXF drawing can be brought in as a reference model to build the structure against.

Use case

IFC export to BIM tools

Last updated 28 August 2026

Roiko exports its structural models to IFC4, the open BIM exchange format that Revit, Tekla and other BIM tools read, so a generated and code-checked structure moves into the toolchain a practice already runs.

Into the workflow you already have

A tool that cannot hand its output to the next tool is a detour. Roiko exports the model as IFC4 — the open, vendor-neutral BIM format — so it opens in the software a practice already owns rather than becoming another format to reconcile.

To be precise about what this is: IFC4 is a file, not a plugin. Roiko does not install into Revit, Tekla or Allplan; it produces a file those applications read. That distinction matters when you are planning how the model actually reaches your team.

Reference models coming the other way

Exchange runs in both directions. An architect's IFC model or a surveyor's DXF can be brought in as a reference model, so the structure is built against the real geometry rather than a redrawn approximation of it.
