IFC

IFC files mostly belong to AutoCAD from Autodesk. Files with IFC Enterprise Archive File are usually 3D models of buildings. Such files are based on the Industry Foundation Classes format (IFC), which typically contains 3D architectural models, shapes, spatial elements and materials. The IFC format provides interoperability with a consistent 3D asset data exchange format between BIM (building information modeling) software such as AutoCAD. The IFC format is the official ISO standard defined in ISO 16739-1:2018. Some 3D files with IFC Enterprise Archive File are STEP files, which are also based on the IFC format. All Image, a software that creates disk image backups for Windows operating systems, uses IFC Enterprise Archive File to store compressed disk images.
