Hide, isolate, show allCut through dense geometry; filter by storey.
MeasureDistances and spans, snapped to real geometry.

Private by design.

IFC Canvas runs entirely on your iPad. There is no server side to trust, because there is no server.

No cloud, no account Nothing to sign in to and no backend to opt out of. Models parse and render on the device itself.
Offline is the default Everything works with the radio off: in the basement, on the jobsite, on a plane.
Your data stays yours Nothing leaves the device except the files you explicitly export yourself.
