Version: ifctool 5.0.1

# Processing

The tool uses web-ifc to extract data from the IFC.
See https://github.com/tomvandig/web-ifc


## ifcJSON

The output JSON is the result of JSON.stringify, with post-processing
to coerce web-ifc's object representation to ifcJSON.  This is a Work
in Progress.


# Examples

Print the root element of the model in JSON:

  node src/main.js model.ifc

with dereferncing and output as CSV

  node src/main.js model.ifc --deref --out=csv

with custom formatting

  node src/main.js model.ifc --types=IFCWALL,IFCWINDOW --out=csv \
    --fmt='["expressID","OverallWidth","OverallHeight"]'

> node src/main.js index.ifc --elts=5 --deref --omitNull
