ifc import/export in Microstation and OpenRoads

To use IFC files to communicate with other programs, you need another Bentley product. I suppose it is possible to add this function to Microstation and OpenRoads.

    Now that OpenRoads has IFC export it would be useful for it to be added to MicroStation.

    We use MicroStation as our base platform when running TopoDOT to extract and model features so being able to communicate with other programs using IFC would be extremely useful instead of relying on another program. e.g. Civil3d, iTwin.

    Although microStation is no building product it would be great if you could export model plus your self-created non-graphical information as IFC to deliver it to other crafts. Without the learning curve that comes with OBD (if you are not an architect or deeper into another builing craft)
