"""Edits a property set and its properties
At its simplest usage, this may be used to edit the name of a property
set. It may also be used to add, edit, or remove properties, either
arbitrarily or using a property set template.
A list of properties are provided as a dictionary, where the keys are
property names, and values are property values. Keys that don't already
exist are interpreted as properties to be added. Keys that already exist
are interpreted as properties to be edited. A "None" value may specify a
property to be deleted.
Properties must have a data type. There are lots of data types in IFCs,
not just simple unitless data types like integers, booleans, text, but
also distinguishing between types of text, like labels versus
descriptive text. There are also lots of unit-based data types like
areas, volumes, lengths, power, density, flow rates, pressure, etc.
To ensure the appropriate data type is used for properties, a property
set template may be used. These can be seen as "property
specifications". A default selection is provided by buildingSMART, so
that all buildingSMART defined standard properties have exactly the same
data types and exactly the right property names without fear of invalid
data or typos. The built-in buildingSMART templates are always loaded.
However, you may also specify your own templates. If you try to add a
non-standard property that does not exist in either your own template or
in the built-in buildingSMART template, then you have the responsibility
to ensure that data types are always consistent and correct.
:param pset: The IfcPropertySet to edit.
:type pset: ifcopenshell.entity_instance.entity_instance
:param name: A new name for the property set. If no name is specified,
the property set name is not changed.
:type name: str, optional
:param properties: A dictionary of properties. The keys must be a string
of the name of the property. The data type of the value will be
determined by the property set template. If no property set
template is found, the data types of the Python values will
influence the IFC data type of the property. String values will
become IfcLabel, float values will become IfcReal, booleans will
become IfcBoolean, and integers will become IfcInteger. If more
control is desired, you may explicitly specify IFC data objects
directly.
:type properties: dict
:param pset_template: If a property set template is provided, this will
be used to determine data types. If no user-defined template is
provided, the built-in buildingSMART templates will be loaded.
:type pset_template: ifcopenshell.entity_instance.entity_instance
:param should_purge: If left as False, properties set to None will be
left as None but not removed. If set to true, properties set to None
will actually be removed.
:type should_purge: bool, optional
:return: None
:rtype: None
Example::
# Let's imagine we have a new wall type.
wall_type = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.create_entity", model, ifc_class="IfcWallType")
# This is a standard buildingSMART property set.
pset = ifcopenshell.api.run("pset.add_pset", model, product=wall_type, name="Pset_WallCommon")
# In this scenario, we don't specify any pset_template because it is
# part of the built-in buildingSMART templates, and so the
# FireRating will automatically be an IfcLabel, and the thermal
# transmittance value will automatically be an
# IfcThermalTransmittanceMeasure. Neither of these properties exist
# yet, so they will be created.
ifcopenshell.api.run("pset.edit_pset", model,
pset=pset, properties={"FireRating": "2HR", "ThermalTransmittance": 42.3})
# We can edit existing properties. In this case, "FireRating" is
# edited from "2HR" to "1HR". Combustible is new, and will be added.
# The existing "ThermalTransmittance" property will be left
# unchanged.
ifcopenshell.api.run("pset.edit_pset", model,
pset=pset, properties={"FireRating": "1HR", "Combustible": False})
# Setting to None will change the value but not delete the property.
ifcopenshell.api.run("pset.edit_pset", model, pset=pset, properties={"Combustible": None})
# If you actually want to delete the property, enable purging.
ifcopenshell.api.run("pset.edit_pset", model, pset=pset,
properties={"Combustible": None}, should_purge=True)
# What if we wanted to manage our own properties? Let's create our
# own "Company Standard" property set templates. Notice how we
# prefix our property set with "Foo_", if our company name was "Foo"
# this would make sense.
