IFC to classified LGSF/CFS models, drawings and production files.

Convert authorized IFC files into 3D review workspaces, shareable model views, reports and CNC-ready CSV/XML outputs for light-gauge steel framing.

Workflow software for review, sharing, frame editing, export and fabrication handoff. Not structural design or engineering certification.

Yearly billing saves more. Monthly plans include lower production export credits.

Prices are in USD and exclude VAT/tax where applicable.

FAQ

Common questions

Can users upload without an account?

Yes. Guest users can upload 1 IFC file for quick browser preview. The preview link is temporary and expires after 1 hour. Guest users do not get long-term storage and cannot export CNC/PDF/DXF/XLSX production output.

Are source IFC files published automatically?

No. The platform is designed around user-controlled workspaces. Source files, detailed model data, sharing links and marketplace publishing remain under user control.

What is a Production Export Credit?

1 credit equals 1 project/model revision exported as a production package, including CNC CSV/XML, PDF, DXF and XLSX. Re-downloading the same revision within 72 hours does not use another credit.

Why are monthly plans more expensive than yearly plans?

Monthly plans are designed for short-term use, so they cost more and include fewer production export credits. This prevents users from buying one month and mass-exporting CNC/PDF/DXF files.

Can LGSFMarket export CNC files for Chinese and Western machines?

Yes, when the machine supports the configured CSV/XML output profile or a custom format has been set up. FRAMECAD proprietary formats are not supported by default.

Does LGSFMarket provide structural engineering certification?

No. LGSFMarket supports review, classification, frame editing and production-output preparation from IFC files. Users remain responsible for structural engineering, professional approval and final production checks.

Can limits be adjusted for a production team?

Yes. Business users can buy extra credits, extra seats, storage and custom machine formats. Enterprise is available for high-volume quota, API, SLA, dedicated workspace and custom workflow.

Does marketplace publishing export files automatically?

No. Marketplace publishing must be user-controlled. The owner decides whether to publish a design, share a preview, sell a package or allow production-output access.
