Hi, it seems any Shape I change with replaceShape() becomes invalid. The attached document as an almost minimal example. I start with a document that contains just one shape. In my case it is a face. Then I have something like this in the python console: >>> r = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument >>> r.Shape.Sh...

Alright, opened a ticket for this, so it isn't forgotten: https://tracker.freecadweb.org/view.php?id=4404

Sure, I can do that, but it will be very slow on big files.

However I guess this answers my question: There is no such function yet.

What I want to do right now is process data from other BIM applications, that don't know about the object names in FreeCAD document, but know the GUID, because they are working on the same IFC file. But I think pretty much everybody using GlobalIds will want to find objects based on them. Even if it...

Yes, I know how to do this with objects. ;-) But a GlobalId is a property of an object, not an object itself. I have >>> FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.Wall.GlobalId '2Uv8iBq25ChAfktTCU0To2' So suppose I know '2Uv8iBq25ChAfktTCU0To2', but not to which object it belongs. Is there any way to arrive at 'Wall' ...

I don't know how to translate this into valid syntax.

TIA, Harald

Is there any function similar to Document::getObjectsByLabel() but working with GUIDs?

Or even more general: Are the any functions yet, which do anything useful with GUIDs?

About your code, I would not make it a workbench to start. I would try to make the tests first with simple functions first, I agree, that classic unit tests would be preferable. But I see two issues: 1) Such tests would mostly test ifcopenshell functionality, not FreeCAD. 2) It probably requires in...

Just one fast hint. We need to distingish between problems and unit tests of FreeCADs ifc-importer and the ifc-parser IfcOpenShell which is used by FreeCAD. The later ones should go into the repo of IfcOpenShell. I guess crashes and totally broken geometry are usually caused by ifcopenshell while m...

It is true that realthunders PR fixes the immediate problem.

However I wonder, why is the Arch Project a Part::PartFeature? Wouldn't App::FeaturePython be more straight forward and less prone to strange side effects?
