BIM Explorer - free
Pick any property - IFC class, storey, material, classification, fire rating or any property set or quantity value - and the model is coloured by its values, with a legend and counts. Hide, isolate or select by value. Save viewpoints free; save whole views with BIM Explorer Pro.
Open the Views tab and pick a property from the list: attributes such as IFC class, storey, material and classification first, then every property set and quantity in the model.
Each value gets a colour and a count. The legend is overlaid on the 3D view too, so it's in your snapshots.
Use the eye to hide a value, Isolate to see only it, or Select to pick its elements. Search the values, and ghost the elements that have no value.
Save viewpoints free. With BIM Explorer Pro, Save this view keeps the colouring, the hidden values and the camera together, to come back to.
Help: Inspecting the model has every option in detail.
