Check every IFC model before it leaves your office: model health, IDS requirements, clashes, and what changed since the last issue. It runs on your computer, and the model stays there. Drop an IFC file on the start screen and get a report in a minute, with no project and no setup. When you need more, build pipelines that check every new export the same way, and keep every run on record.
Whether to work in BIM is settled. What a BIM manager still has to answer, model after model, is whether this issue is fit to send. Modellwarte answers each of these in one run.
Health check of the IFC file itself: one project, unique and valid GlobalIds, a complete spatial hierarchy, names, materials, units, schema and classification. Findings show their weight: IfcWall 20 of 1,000 (2%), not just a list.
Validate the model against the client's IDS file, the buildingSMART format for information requirements. Each failed requirement points to the elements behind it.
Clash detection between disciplines, with clash sets you define. Each clash gets a viewpoint and goes out as BCF to the authoring team. Runs in pipelines today; a quick-check tile is coming.
Compare two revisions of a model: new and removed elements, changed attributes and properties, elements moved beyond a tolerance. Review only what is new.
Every run is stored with its date, the rule package version and the file's fingerprint. Months later you can still say which model was checked, how, and with what result. Every report opens with the same header: office, project, cover, who checked, which model and which application exported it, status and time.
Checks are deterministic, and rule packages are signed and versioned. When a client questions a finding, you can point to the exact rule set it came from.
A Windows desktop application for BIM managers. Projects on the left, results with element snapshots in the middle, trends from run to run.

screenshots/trends.pngMany projects come with an NDA, and some are public-sector work. Modellwarte is a desktop application, so nothing gets uploaded and no server needs to be set up. We test this: a full check runs with network access blocked.
Your history stays yours: run history readable without our software. It is an SQLite database with versioned JSON run records, and any SQLite tool opens it. If you stop using Modellwarte, your archive stays with you.
We are building an optional connection to your own n8n server. Modellwarte does the counting on your computer. Your n8n workflow turns the numbers into a cover note for the client and can post it to your team chat. The check itself never depends on it.
After a run, Modellwarte compares it with the previous successful run and builds a short summary of numbers.
{
"diff": {
"added": 45 },
"clashes": {
"new": 4,
"resolved": 18 }
}
Only this summary goes to the webhook you configure. No geometry and no IFC file. Modellwarte waits up to 30 seconds for a reply.
Your workflow sends the summary to the language model you choose and returns the text. It can also post it to Telegram or Teams.
The note is saved as ai_summary.md in the run folder, next to the reports.
Unzip it, drop an IFC file and read the report. For the office standard, point it at a project folder. There is no installer, no server and no database to administer. A BIM manager can set it up the same day.
Drag an IFC onto Health check, Compare or IDS check on the start screen. The report opens when it is done.
Choose a local project folder, name the office and add a cover picture. Build a pipeline from health check, IDS, clash and revision comparison steps and save it as your office standard.
The pipeline can pause at a step and wait for someone to sign it off. That sign-off goes into the record.
Send a run report to the client and BCF topics to the authoring team. Track the trend from run to run.
If yours is missing, ask it in the beta request or simply reply to the beta email.
Any software that exports IFC. Modellwarte is tested on models from Revit, Vectorworks, SketchUp, Bonsai, Scia, DDS-CAD, TopSolid and others, in IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3.
No. Modellwarte is a Windows application that works with a local project folder. The project folder should be on a local drive. Models can come from a network share.
The beta is not yet signed with a Microsoft reputation, so Windows warns about every new program like it. Click More info, then Run anyway (German Windows: Weitere Informationen, then Trotzdem ausführen). To make sure the file is ours, compare its SHA256 with the one in your beta email: in PowerShell, Get-FileHash Modellwarte-*.zip.
BIM managers, BIM coordinators, architects and engineers who check IFC models in their daily work. The beta is a free test: its purpose is to improve Modellwarte on real models and with real feedback.
Nothing. Beta users get the full version free for the beta period of three to four months. Feedback is welcome by email, or in a short call if you like.
The beta is there to improve the software and to learn whether it helps in practice. What comes next depends on that, and every participant hears about it before the beta ends. Your reports and run history stay on your disk either way.
It stays with you. Reports are ordinary files. Run records use a documented, versioned format that can be read without Modellwarte.
Reports are in English for now. If you need another language for your clients, tell us in the beta request. It helps us decide what comes next.
