Format compatibility: define where IFC building model will be used and what metadata inspection must prove there.
Preserve the untouched IFC building model asset and record units and axes before changing geometry, materials, textures, hierarchy, or metadata for metadata inspection.
For IFC building model metadata inspection, Keep the sample file, application versions, import and export settings, screenshots, logs, and fallback format. Product, marketplace, regional, and compliance decisions still require the responsible specialist.
