# Conversion Tools

## Convert From IFC

**`ggETABSConvertFromIFC`**

Convert from IFC allows an IFC model to be converted into a structural analysis model (of the chosen format) within the Rhino work space. This model can be saved as a separate file in the structural analysis programs file format ready for import into that particular program.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The output quality of the structural analysis model created can sometime be dependent on the quality and data associated with the particular IFC file being imported. When exporting IFC from an external software application, you may need to tweak export settings to get the best results from conversion.
{% endhint %}

### Convert IFC Options

The following options provide a number of ways to help generate and provide analytical model correction or "snapping" together of an analytical model and help map materials and/or profile shapes through to structural analysis.

#### Plan Node Seek (tolerance)

#### Vertical Node Seek (tolerance)

#### Flex tolerance

#### Split

#### Project

#### Horizontal Planes

#### Projection Planes

#### MatMapPath

#### ProfMapPath

## Convert To IFC

**`ggETABSConvertToIFC`**

Convert to IFC allows you to select a structural analysis file from a given program and convert that file into an IFC file format.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://technical.geometrygym.com/rhino-grasshopper/structuralanalysis/geometry-gym-model/tools-for-rhino/conversion-tools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
