| IFC User Interface Component (IFC Engine OCX) |
Description
The IFC Engine OCX is 'Open Source' and build to enable the potential functionality
available in the DLL in a much easier environment.
Consequences:
Easy to use component (IFC
functionality can be added to existing projects in less than 3
minutes!).
Additional requirements: availability
of DirectX 8.0 or higher (therefore Microsoft dependent).
Decreased funcitonality, for instance
SDAI interface only partly supported by the OCX (can be
extended in OCX Open Source code).
Open Source
The code to build the OCX is open source and can be used in commercial and non-commercial use. However,
because by default the IFC Engine DLL is used by the OCX, the rules of the DLL apply (free for non-commercial use and a required fee for commercial use). Because the interface of the IFC Engine DLL is open and generic, it is possible to replace the IFC Engine DLL with an alternative. In this case the OCX source code is free to use (including commercial use).
Compatibility
The OCX is compatible with the following IFC versions:
IFC 151, IFC 20, IFC 2x, IFC 2x2 and IFC 2x3. Although it is dependent of the Microsoft environment it is possible to use it in several languages (list of languages is not complete):
Package Downloads (based on IFC Engine DLL version 1.01)
Package Downloads (previous DLL release versions)
