This commit introduces a new BBIM_MaterialLayer property set to persist custom
material layer offset settings in IFC files, along with significant UI improvements
for material editing.
Features Added:
- New BBIM_MaterialLayer pset with properties:
- UseCustomOffset (bool): Toggle for custom offset
- CustomOffset (float): Offset value in SI units
- CustomWallReference (str): Wall reference point (EXTERIOR/CENTER/INTERIOR)
- CustomSlabReference (str): Slab reference point (TOP/MIDDLE/BOTTOM)
Tool Updates (tool.py):
- Added save_custom_offset_to_pset(): Saves custom offset from UI props to pset
- Added load_custom_offset_from_pset(): Loads custom offset from pset to UI props
- Updated get_material_layer_custom_offset(): Reads from pset when props unavailable
Operator Updates (operator.py):
- EnableEditingAssignedMaterial: Loads custom offset from pset on edit start
- EditAssignedMaterial: Saves custom offset to pset on edit completion
- Fixed KeyError for CardinalPoint in material constituent sets
Data Layer (data.py):
- Added bbim_material_layer_pset() to ObjectMaterialData for caching pset data
- Improves performance by avoiding repeated IFC queries during UI drawing
UI Improvements (ui.py):
- Added custom offset display in both editable and read-only material UIs
- Added OffsetFromReferenceLine display in read-only UI
- Implemented dynamic headers based on material type (Layers/Profiles/Constituents)
- Improved visual hierarchy with consistent boxing and indentation
- Aligned editable and read-only UI layouts for consistency
- Fixed layer set boundary labels (Top/Bottom for slabs, Interior/Exterior for walls)
- Reorganized "Add Material" section into material layers box
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed format_distance() to correctly handle negative imperial values
(e.g., -0.5' now displays as "-0' - 6"" instead of "0' - -6"")
This allows users to set custom material layer offsets that persist in the IFC
file and remain available across sessions, with clear visual feedback in both
editing and viewing modes.
