|

If you ever created a wall then realised it's meant to be something
|
||||
else, this function lets you change the IFC class whilst retaining all
|
||||
other geometry and relationships.
|
||||
|
||||
This is especially useful when dealing with poorly classified data from
|
||||
proprietary software with limited IFC capabilities.

||||
:param product: The IfcProduct that you want to change the class of.
|

:type product: ifcopenshell.entity_instance.entity_instance
|
||||
:param ifc_class: The new IFC class you want to change it to.
|
||||
:type ifc_class: str,optional
|
||||
:param predefined_type: In case you want to change the predefined type
|

too. User defined types are also allowed, just type what you want.

# We have a wall.

wall = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.create_entity", model, ifc_class="IfcWall")
|

# Oh, did I say wall? I meant slab.

slab = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.reassign_class", model, product=wall, ifc_class="IfcSlab")

# Warning: this will crash since wall doesn't exist any more.

print(wall) # Kaboom.
