What is a BCFZIP file?

BCFZIP files mostly belong to Solibri. BCFZIP files are compressed archives that hold data for BIM collaboration.
This format uses the ZIP structure to pack a series of files that describe issues, comments, and view information from building projects. In essence, they serve as an archive for BCF issue data that teams use during design reviews and coordination sessions.
These files were developed by companies like Solibri Office and are also associated with BIMcollab Zoom. They are not intended for manual editing; instead, they require a specialized BIM tool to open and interpret the structured markup and view data properly. For more details, visit Solibri.

• Content: Markup details, viewpoints, and issue data.
• File Structure: Uses ZIP compression to bundle various format files.
• Collaboration: Designed to share building project issues among BIM professionals.

FilExt.com note: When used with appropriate BIM software, these files streamline project reviews and enhance collaboration across different platforms.

BCFZIP format details:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below is our analysis of the BCFZIP files:

The BCFZIP file type is a very commonly used file extension and is primarily used by a single program. The file formats most commonly found in BCFZIP files are:

• 80% of all BCFZIP files use the ZIP algorithm, so several files are compressed and saved in one BCFZIP file. A BCFZIP file can contain up to 200 files (mostly 4 - 80). Common included file names are bcf.version, extension.xsd and project.bcfp. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. The files are often between 34 KB and 14 MB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. project.bcfp. Such BCFZIP files store data about project, model, issues, plan, protomartir, comments, bcfexport, theater and name.
• 1% of all BCFZIP files save the data in JSON file format. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data−interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. The contents of these files are easily readable with a text editor. The files are 23 bytes to 99 bytes in size, with a median of 56 bytes.

The remaining 19% of all BCFZIP files are different files with different signatures. Files like these are sometimes linked to report, storey, long, bouwtechniek, controle or ontwerp.
