This has a few advantages:
- The collection logic is centralised
- The collection logic is configurable based on the collection mode
- The name is not hardcoded
This reimplements @theoryshaw 's commit 9adbd4 but has a few upgrades:
- Considers all parent / child relationships, not just aggregates
- Puts business logic in core where it belongs and tool code in tool
- Uses existing utils where possible like get_decomposition
- Does not use name based collection checking which is fragile
- Reuses tool.Collector
- Makes container assignment handle the API's capability to do things
in bulk instead of one by one in a loop, so it's faster
- Tests
This is a cool idea, but users have all sorts of Blender collection
strategies and I think it's a good idea for Bonsai code to just touch
Bonsai's stuff and leave everything else. Separate functionality can be
built for non-Bonsai workflows and preferrably in a more discoverable
way than in individual Bonsai features.
When joining objects with mismatched representation types, deselect and
skip incompatible objects rather than canceling the entire operation.
This allows users to join compatible objects even when the selection
includes incompatible ones.
The previous fix by @theoryshaw had the correct conclusion but had some
issues:
1. Don't implement anything that fetches IFC data in the UI draw calls.
This historically has lead to race conditions and crashes. The data
classes are much preferred.
2. Rather than load the inapplicable attribute then selectively omit it
in the UI, it's preferred to just never load it in the first place.
Reuse tool.Geometry.duplicate_ifc_objects because that's where all
duplication logic should stay instead of half reimplementing it every
time which introduces subtle bugs.
I generally like to minimise knobs and dials, so this is now part of the
wizard but now defaults to a "NONE" unit. You also now have the option
to choose "NONE" for area / volume units which makes things consistent.
Enum names also match the IFC lowercase convention for conversion based
units. This also simplifies the core logic and treats all units the same
way instead of special cases for each unit type. (length is still
special and required in Bonsai as we are inherently graphical)
