IDS validation, free and in the browser
IDS (Information Delivery Specification) is how you state — machine-readably — exactly what data a model must contain. Checking against it is fast becoming part of every serious BIM handover.
ClashControl validates your IFC against an IDS right in the browser: load the model, load the spec, and see precisely which elements pass and which fail — free. Catch the missing property sets, wrong classifications, and bad data before they detonate downstream in coordination.
Open standard, open tool. No install, no license.
Validate a model against your IDS →FAQ
- What is IDS?
- Information Delivery Specification — a buildingSMART open standard for defining and automatically checking the information requirements of an IFC model.
- Which IDS version do you support?
- IDS 1.0 — the current buildingSMART release.
- Can I check data quality without a full IDS?
- Yes. ClashControl ships with a built-in data quality checker covering BIM basics (missing GlobalIds, generic names, missing materials, unassigned storeys, empty geometry), an ILS pack, and NL-SfB classification checks — no IDS file required.
