Beyond traditional 2D takeoffs, CostX can import IFC and native Revit files. It extracts quantities directly from the BIM model, adding the “5th dimension” (cost) to the 3D model and schedule (4D). This integration helps identify clashes and cost impacts early.
It reads parametric 3D models from platforms like Autodesk Revit to automatically pull material dimensions and properties directly from the source geometry. This eliminates the need to interpret lines on flat drawings, capturing complex geometries effortlessly. 2. Live-Linked Cost Workbooks costx software
