Through the in-app purchase, available from any screen with a locked feature.

Yes, with Pro. Federated loading combines several IFC files into one scene, so disciplines can be reviewed side by side, and clash detection works across them. The three sample models are there to try it.

Yes, with Pro. Open the .ids file and every specification shows how many elements pass and fail, with the failures highlighted in the model. Rules the app cannot evaluate yet (such as partOf) are marked "not evaluated" instead of passing.

Yes, with Pro. Load the architecture and add the structure or services model to the scene; clash detection works across the federated models and exports each clash as a BCF topic.

Yes. Measurements and levels can be shown in metric or imperial units.

IFC View follows the language your device uses, or the one you choose for the app alone: on iPhone and iPad in Settings > IFC View > Language, on the Mac in System Settings > General > Language & Region > Applications. The Language… item in the app's menu takes you there.

From Finder or the Files app, from Mail, from any app that can share a document, or from within IFC View itself.

No. It only goes online for the App Store purchase and, if you use it, the bSDD classification lookup, which sends only the words you search for.

Use the restore option on any screen showing a locked feature. The purchase is tied to your Apple Account and works on all your devices. A trial that was already used is restored too, so it cannot be started twice.
