IFC import

[bernd]

I don't know what the purpose of the attribute INCLUDE_CURVES is. Thus, my temporary patch may not be the proper solution for the problem. I wonder why nobody else was faced to the same issue, since the ifcOpenShell I used came from the official site. Or is this issue OS X related?

You downloaded from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ifcope ... -preview1/ These previews are from February 2015! They are really outdated. It is recommended to compile an up to date version. Check https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell

BTW: This option is needed to import analytical IFC. This option was added far after these previews above where provided.

I think I saw they were in the process of creating new builds of ifcopenshell... Maybe have a look at their forums too if there isn't anything more recent

Hmm, I gave up compiling the IfcOpenShell on an OS X machine after 3 hours. It seems to me that I have to live without a IFC import for a while.

fill in an issue on ifcopenshells github or on ifcopenshells forum. Thomas or Ari will for sure help you. They did help myself many times to get ifcopenshell compiled.

BTW:
there is a build sctipt which fetches and compiles all depecies.

would be cool if you get it compiled. We coulf include the binary in the osx FreeCAD release then.

Thank you for the hint with the build script. Will try it this evening.

Hi @tom,

Were you able to successfully compile ifcOpenShell for OSX? I wasn't able and I would be interested on the binaries in case you have them...

Thanks
