First things first ... new Blender version 2.81 has been released! See the changelog . This one focused a lot on improved sculping tools. The retopo tools are really important to bring in scanned geometry into high quality meshes. The built-in bulk rename is nice, although it already existed as an a...

1) Archipack uses Modifiers, but you must apply these Modifiers before exporting a IFC file. 2) In Scene - Building Information Modeling panel, the "Select IFC Class" button works fine, but "Select IFC Type" doesn't highlight anything. Select IFC type fixed in https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpe...

If you change the scale of a object in Object Mode (blender) the exported IFC file does not save this change. You must Apply Scale previously: Select - Crtl+A - Scale (to set XYZ scale to 1.00) Thanks! This was fixed 3 days ago (IFC scaling is very weird) https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShel...

Just a question. Your pull request #1975 seems to introduce cycling selection using the Tab key.

From memory, although I need to check, the shortcut was changed to the "`" key (above the tab key) prevent clashes with the default OS behaviour of tab to switch input field focus.

Your work looks absolutely great carlopav! I love it!

There is now an online utility to help with IFC class categorisations - I hope you find it useful:

Just to get it the right way. All this is part of upstream 0.6 ifcopenstell?

Yes, it is developed as part of the v0.6.0 branch of IfcOpenShell.

Great work. When will this be ready for testing? I understand this feature will be part of the ifcOpenshell add-on? I've just packaged it, let's go and test! Check out the package and install instructions here: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/tree/v0.6.0/src/ifcblenderexport I also cre...

I thought others here may be interested in Blender and its IFC capabilities. Blender has been able to import IFC files for some time now, but I've built in support to export IFC files now. Most of the features and thinking is similar to FreeCAD, in that geometry is completely freeform. It's complete...
