Atreum for architects & BIM teams

Make the model understandable beyond the BIM team.

Open IFC geometry directly in the browser, navigate its spatial structure, isolate what matters and prepare clear views for clients, consultants and approvals. Then carry the same model into site context, design studies and presentation imagery.

  • Browser-based IFC inspection
  • Elements, assemblies, floors, units and rooms
  • Sections, saved views and portable exports

The model should travel further

Keep precision for review. Add clarity for everyone else.

The people making decisions rarely need another dense BIM interface. They need the correct floor, room, component, section or material shown from the right camera—with enough context to understand the consequence.

Atreum provides a focused browser layer over the model. Inspect and filter the IFC, save a review state, then use the same spatial source for daylight, site context, finishes and presentation without redrawing the project.

One source, one connected workflow

From openBIM file to a view people can act on.

Preserve the building structure while reducing each conversation to the geometry and context it actually needs.

  1. 01

    Import the openBIM model

    Bring in plain IFC2x3, IFC4 or supported IFC4.x and retain storeys, spaces, classifications, assemblies, phases, shapes and colours.

  2. 02

    Interrogate and compose

    Navigate by place or element, hide individual parts or groups, set a cut height, isolate a storey and save a precise camera state.

  3. 03

    Test the presentation layer

    Apply realistic finishes, set the sun, place the building and add conversationally designed objects without changing the IFC source.

  4. 04

    Share a legible result

    Capture review views, create client-facing imagery and export GLB or OBJ with intentionally hidden geometry omitted.

Review and communication together

Less presentation rework around the model.

Use technical geometry as the foundation for spatial explanation instead of rebuilding it for every audience.

01

Open review without specialist setup

A browser workspace lets collaborators inspect prepared views without installing the authoring environment that produced the IFC.

02

Reveal exactly the right layer

Filter a kind, assembly or single piece; move through floors and spaces; save sections and hidden-state decisions with the view.

03

Bridge technical and visual language

Move from element-level review to a believable interior, facade or site image while keeping both anchored to the same geometry.

The model remains useful

A practical browser layer for the IFC.

Explore the imported structure by building, storey, unit, room, kind, assembly or individual part. Named materials remain available as reference, while display finishes and design additions stay separate from the original file.

Inspect the real structure

Navigate floors, units, rooms, elements, assemblies, phases and named materials without flattening the building.

Control what the view contains

Hide an element or a whole category, isolate a place and use a section box or cut height to reveal what matters.

Apply presentation finishes

Use realistic library surfaces or direct the interior and exterior finish with project-specific material notes.

Design in conversation

Describe terraces, planting, furnishings or architectural objects and let the design assistant build them into the scene.

Add the real site

Place the building at its coordinates, align it to true north and switch surrounding terrain and buildings on when needed.

Keep portable outputs

Save camera states and versions, capture views, create presentation images and download GLB or OBJ for the next tool.

Not a building on an empty plane

Review orientation, surroundings and daylight together.

Use model coordinates or place the building manually, align true north and inspect the design against its surrounding terrain and buildings. Set a real date and time before saving the view.

Place the building
Use IFC coordinates, search an address or position and rotate the model yourself.
Review real daylight
Set the date and time; the sun follows the selected location and true north.
Return to the exact view
A saved view restores its place, lens, hidden parts, section, sunlight and camera.

A clearer model conversation

Prepare the evidence each stakeholder needs.

Keep one spatial foundation while changing the level of detail, camera and visual finish for the conversation at hand.

  • 01 Save focused review states with camera, section, hidden parts and sunlight together.
  • 02 Explain a floor, unit, room or element without exposing the entire coordination model.
  • 03 Place the proposal in surrounding context for orientation, massing and daylight conversations.
  • 04 Turn approved geometry into presentation imagery without a disconnected remodel.

Bring the file you already have

Open the model. Prepare the view. Keep both.

Bring a supported IFC file into a private browser workspace and turn technical building information into focused review and presentation material.
