Yes, one can import the trb files into sketchup, and make an ifc export from sketchup. There´s the ifcexport plugin that works quite well. The native exporter does strange things., like not exporting everything, randomly.
The ifc importer destroys all information in the ifc, like layers/tags so that makes a big soup of everything. Also the file size balloons to 10x. So pretty useless.
Since in on a Mac I dont have the desktop version of Trimble connect, and there is not feature parity between the desktop version and the web version.
So a big mess. There's the advanced workflows group inside the sketchup team, but they dont work with workflows, its probably too dull for them, so we are on our own here it seems.

FWIW, the Windows desktop app can combine and export multiple files or objects that are in the view, but it uses the TrimBIM format, not Ifc. So, one can download all the files from the Web version, and than import them in an editing application like SketchUp, and do an export to Ifc from there to get a federated model.
It would be nice to have the same feature in the Webversion, though. (Export the current 3D View to TrimBIM)

One feature thats on the desktop version and not in the cloud, is the ability to combine ifc´s together into a single file. I know we can view them together in the web version, but at some point one needs to deliver to the customer the combined ifc. Could be nice to be able to do that without having a separat computer for that (I´m on a Mac)

Hi Yves,
Have you checked the Content Browser feature that we just released? It's the "Data Table" tab in the UI. That has similar features. Maybe not exactly same,but i would like to hear from you how that works for you.
Best regards,
