Loading property sets on demand in xeoVision - flexible handling of IFC metadata
· 9 min read
🔎 How to search IFC metadata without downloading gigabytes of data?
At xeoVision, we’ve developed an innovative approach to on-demand property set loading. 👉 Extracting metadata to JSON 👉 Converting it into lightweight SQLite databases 👉 Remotely reading data chunk by chunk from object storage
This allows even very large IFC models to be searched quickly, efficiently, and without heavy network loads.
📖 In the article, I explain the entire process — from cxconverter to remote VFS and data transfer optimization.
