- **COBie 2.4 Legacy**: During the original development of **COBie 2.4**, a
mapping to IFC was developed as part of the now unmaintained `COBie-plugins
<https://github.com/opensourceBIM/COBie-plugins>`__ and loosely defined in
Annex A with a number of ambiguities and oddities to accommodate the poor
state of BIM vendors at the time. This preserves the original implementation.

Information Model (NBIMS-US) standard. Unlike **COBie 2.4**, it is not a
British Standard nor developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

and their bounding boxes. After a tree is built, you can efficiently select
geometry by specifying a point, radius, or bounding box.

The most efficient way to build tree is by using the iterator, as shown in the
