<h2>Overview:</h2>
<p>XbimEssentials is a foundational component of Xbim, a toolkit for the .NET platform that allows software developers to easily read, write, validate, and interrogate data in buildingSmart IFC formats. It supports STEP, IfcXml, and IfcZip formats, and provides support for IFC2x3 and IFC4 schemas. The library aims to simplify the complexity of working with Open BIM file formats, allowing developers to focus on creating software solutions without needing in-depth knowledge of 3D graphics and data parsing.</p>
<h2>Features:</h2>
