🏢 Turn a building into Vyer Standard (Full Twin) by uploading its IFC model. Match the model's floors to the ones you already have, and everyone gets the indoor map with every space and wall.
You need the Admin or Owner role. Nothing on the building is lost: floors you created by hand keep their names and everything placed on them.
Upload the model
Open the building and its full card. Under Model, click Upload new model, or Update model when the building already has one.
Pick the IFC file. The file name ends in .ifc, and the model holds exactly one building with at least one floor. The File Upload dialog shows the progress.
A row appears under Model with the file name and Status: Uploaded.
Match the floors and confirm
Click the row. The Model upload confirmation dialog opens, or Model comparison when you are updating a model.
Under Story mapping, each floor in the model has a dropdown: pick the floor in Vyer it corresponds to, or Create new. Vyer proposes a mapping, lowest floor first; a heading in red needs your attention.
Click Continue. The status moves through Queued for conversion, Processing and Importing to Complete. The card refreshes on its own; leave the page if you like.
For an update, the dialog lists what the new file adds and removes, and the new file overrules the current one.
What changes
The building shows the Has indoor map mark, and its small card says View model.
Floors you mapped keep their names, order and everything placed on them; new floors take the model's names. Spaces come from the model.
The indoor map tools, measuring and the 2D and 3D views, are available on the building. See Navigating Vyer.
Create floor disappears from the floor selector, and a floor that holds model parts cannot be removed.
If it doesn't work
Unsupported IFC Schema or Unsupported file type
Vyer reads IFC2x3 and IFC4 files. Export the model again in one of those.
Status: Validation failed
The model has duplicate element ids, no floors, or more than one building or site. Fix the export and upload again.
A model import job is already ongoing for this building
Wait for the current job to finish or cancel it from its confirmation dialog.
