The current implementation of IFC data in Power BI is not user-friendly. The data is structured like a chain, requiring users to unpack it repeatedly. This makes the model slow and difficult to navigate.
Additionally, finding specific information is challenging because the structure is not intuitive. A better data structure would significantly improve usability. For example, take a look at Autodesk Exchange—adopting a similar structure would already be a huge improvement.
This issue has existed for over a year now, and I hope it will be resolved soon. Without a well-structured dataset, few companies will be able to effectively use this application for this purpose.
