Create connection between IFC and Power BI
Hi everyone,
I would like to create a connection between the IFC model and Power BI, and most important, show the model in Power BI. I would like to know which tools (software) I have to use to create add-ins for Power BI, which languages gonna be best for the job, and what are possible languages to use to create the Power BI add-ins or visualizations.
I have tried to find some directions but all the time I am finding the same post about ready add-ins, and I need to pay for those. I am not interested in those. I am also a programmer and I can probably create such add-ins/visualizations by myself but I don't know where to start.
I am completely new in Power BI, sorry if the question is stupid, but who asks not getting lost.
Thanks for some directions.

Hi there, I am attempting similar, did you manage to get an IFC into Power BI without any third-party apps?
You can integrate an IFC model with Power BI by developing a custom visual using the Power BI Visuals SDK with TypeScript/JavaScript, and leveraging libraries like three.js for 3D rendering. For example, we built an IFC viewer for Power BI, which you can check out here: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/flinkergmbh1644589155747.ifc-viewer.
