Short Answer
Yes, you can bring the decisions you made in vyzn back into your CAD. The workflow runs via the export of an enriched IFC, which you then re-import into your CAD. In addition, a CSV export with the relevant attributes is available.
Why It Matters
Decisions you make in vyzn should not stay in vyzn but flow back into your planning process. Through export and re-import, you bring them back into your CAD model.
How It Works in vyzn
- Enriched IFC: You export an enriched IFC from vyzn and re-import it into your CAD. Exportable data includes building components, materials, building services and other resources.
- CSV export: In addition, there is a CSV export with the relevant attributes that lets you make updates in your CAD.
- Good to know: There is no direct CAD plugin with live synchronization. The workflow runs via export and re-import – manually or as a cloud-to-cloud integration.
Practical Example
If you work with Archicad, for example, you can use the CSV export with the relevant attributes to make updates in your CAD.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a CAD plugin with live synchronization?
No, not at the moment. The exchange runs via export and re-import – manually or as a cloud-to-cloud integration.
Which data can I bring back into my CAD?
Via the enriched IFC, you export building components, materials, building services and other resources.

Update (version 1.8.5)
As of version 1.8.5, the IFC export also offers a color-coded view: components are colored by category so you can immediately recognize them in your CAD tool or viewer.
