Problem with huge ifc file

[bernd]

would you post the file you would like to extract these entities?

It's exmpl a file I've already attached, or any other file.
I can already split it into single ifc files, I hope all is correct.
What's interesting for me is that after merging them into one file I have no problem with import it in Freecad as on my first post in this thread.
However, merging files I do quite simply. I don't know how to write it well in python so I put the path list to merge in the script manually.
This is the code to split:

Code: Select all

import ifcopenshell
import importIFC
from string import *

filepath = 'C:/IFC/piping0/'

f = ifcopenshell.open(filepath + 'PIPING0.ifc')
products = f.by_type('IfcProduct')
for product in products:
    g = ifcopenshell.file(schema=f.schema)
    g.add(f.by_type("IfcProject")[0])
    a=str(product)
    b=a.find('=')
    entity=int(a[1:b])
#    print(product)
#    print(entity)
    g.add(f[entity])
    g.write(filepath + str(entity) + ".ifc")

And this is for merging:

Code: Select all

import ifcopenshell
#this is small first generated file
new_file = ifcopenshell.open("C:/IFC/piping0/2.ifc")

old_files = list(map(ifcopenshell.open, [
    "C:/IFC/piping0/74684.ifc",
    "C:/IFC/piping0/74707.ifc",
    "C:/IFC/piping0/74750.ifc",
    "C:/IFC/piping0/74751.ifc",
# there is block of 500 files paths

]))

for old_file in old_files:
    for inst in old_file:
        new_file.add(inst)

new_file.write("C:/IFC/piping0/merged5.ifc")

Would you give me an idea how to automate the merging of example 500 files into one ifc, and then generate new file etc?
Too big ifc files I can't then import into bocad.
Thanks for help with splitting ifc!

I have a question. What's the name of the property with the number of a singular entity ifc file?
I've printed out a list from the file, and I'd like to save those entitions as individual files. I just don't know how to get the number of a particular part.

Code: Select all

for product in products:
   print(product)

How to get #15, #28, etc to save it with 15.ifc, 28.ifc etc

I think what you need is just product.id.

Yeah.
I need to lear more about Ifc file structure etc. next pyhton etc . - for future...
Thanks everyone.
With Yours help I made small script to splitting ifc file and finally import sucessfully these large files to Freecad and next to bocad.

Hi,

Yesterday I posted a PR with a small patch that remedies a segfault bug. It looks like this is what ails this file. Ifcopenshell crashes when checking curve intersections.

copy , save as thisdiff.patch, then in the root of ifcopenshell v0.60b0 release sourcecode:
patch -Np1 < thisdiff.patch

I cannot download the file anymore to check if this fixes this particular issue, if anyone has it I would like to take a stab at it.

try this https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/files/pull/2 It was extracted from the huge file of this topic. Related issue on ifcopenshell https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/744

BTW: link to PR: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/pull/779

[sanderboer]

Nope, my pr does not fix this. =(

I'll look into it though, it looks like it segfaults when trying to extrude a zero size loop ?

[bernd]

that would be great. Since I am a Python guy, debugging ifcopenshell is very very difficault for me.

[bernd]

new PR was made to hopefully fix the issue ... https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/pull/801
