To run the OdIfcReadFile sample application, please do the following:

1. Open the terminal window and go to the directory where the sample binary file is allocated:
   • For Windows® platforms: <IFC_DIR>\exe\<version>
   • For Non-Windows platforms: <IFC_DIR>/bin/<version>

   <IFC_DIR> is a directory where you unpacked the IFC SDK archive.

   To determine your <version> parameter, please see the appropriate section in the Download IFC SDK topic.

2. Run the sample with appropriate parameters:

   
               OdIfcReadFile <filename>
             

   filename

   A full path to an .ifc file name to be read.
