# Model Exchange with IFCLite

* [Connection with buildagil](#3-integration-with-buildagil)
* [Loading Models from the Folder Structure](#3-loading-models-from-the-folder-structure)

IFClite is a browser-based IFC viewer that can be connected directly to buildagil via a cloud source. This allows you to view models from the buildagil project repository without having to download and manually open them first.

### Integration with buildagil
By connecting to buildagil, IFClite gains access to the models stored in buildagil. You need to log in only once; the login can be renewed as needed. In IFClite, select the "buildagil" cloud source under "Open from the Cloud." You can then begin the login process.

When logging in for the first time, the "buildagil IFClite Connector" app will appear for confirmation. Once confirmed, the connection is established, and the logged-in user will be displayed in the cloud source.

### Loading Models from the Folder Structure
You can search for specific models based on the folder structure of the connected cloud source and load them into IFClite. This ensures that the model versions stored in buildagil are always available.

After logging in, the project folder structure is displayed. You can find the desired model by browsing the folders or using the search function within the project. You can select one or more models by checking the corresponding checkboxes. Multiple models are loaded as a federated model.

After loading, the model is displayed in the viewer, including the building hierarchy and file information. Models that have been newly saved or updated in buildagil are updated in IFClite by clicking “Synchronize.”
