Get all entites (STEP ID items)
-------------------------------
IFC file opened through IfcOpenShell is iterable. This means you can get all entities (all STEP ID items) that occurs in the file with a simple loop.
IFC file opened through IfcOpenShell is iterable. This means you can get all instance (all STEP ID items) that occurs in the file with a simple loop.
.. code-block:: python
for entity in model:
for inst in model:
# It prints out entire entity as it appears in IFC file, e.g
print("The STEP entity is: ", entity)
print("The STEP entity is: ", inst)
# You can get info about attributes of an instance as you normally would, e.g. name, type, get_info()
print(entity.get_info())
# Get entity type
print(entity.is_a())
# Get entity name. IF statement is necessary to ensure that the entity is actual instance such as walls, properties, tasks etc.
print(inst.get_info())
# Get instance type
print(inst.is_a())
# Get instance name. To ensure you get instances that have attribute Name, simple IF statement will suffice.
# For more information check submodule: ifcopenshell.entity_instance
if isinstance(entity, ifcopenshell.ifcopenshell_wrapper.entity_instance):
print(entity.Name)
if hasattr(inst, "Name"):
print(inst.Name)
