Access to IFC/DWG files

1

Hi All,

I want to read IFC or DWG files to import data into tables?
Has anyone done this with Dremio?

If an external tool is needed:
Is it possible, from Dremio, to call an external program?
The idea would be to use the python library IfcOpenShell to parse the IFC file, access data and export data into Dremio tables.

Thanks
Christophe

@Christophe When you say IFC and DWG, are they the file formats, Dremio can only read the below

  • Parquet
  • Iceberg
  • Delta Lake
  • CSV/Text
  • JSON
  • ORC via Hive
  • AVRO via Hive

Hello
IFC files are text-files (SPF, XML or JSON).
The complexity is to read the schema and to export data to a table (or many tables).
There are some librairies to parse IFC files, like the python library IfcOpenShell.

So, my question is: does someone parse IFC with dremio (using a extern librairy for ex. )?

Regards
Christophe

@Christophe Out of the above formats of IFC files only JSON is currently supported, no XML or SPF support now
