Added information about parent entity to schema (it's located in "parent_entity" entity parameter inside schema), both for Ifc2x3 and Ifc4.
Modified get_entity_doc and get_attribute_doc - now you can use additional optional parameter `recursive=True` with those functions - then parent entities attributes will be included to the list of entity's attributes. For example IfcWindow will also have attributes from IfcBuildingElement, IfcElement, IfcProduct etc...
Now you can access Doc API functions directly (like `ifcopenshell.util.doc.get_entity_doc(...)`) without setting up DocAPI class.
To make it work I've set up singleton DocDatabase class and made all paths relative to module location.
The schema for IFC4 the same as it was for IFC2x3.
Properties schema for IFC4 includes both quantity and propety sets.
Also cleaned up entities description for IFC2x3 from HTML code and IFC tags.
* IFC v2.3 json schema and parsing tool to regenerate it
Added entities and propeties schema in json format.
ifc2x3_entities.json format:
entity_name -> description, url, attributes;
attributes format: attribute_name -> attribute_descrption
ifc2x3_properties.json format:
property_set_name -> property_name -> description, children
children format: child_property_name -> child_property_description.
Also added doc.py script that can generate the same json schema files but requires docs IFC 2.3 docs in the same folder (https://github.com/buildingSMART/IFC/tree/Ifc2.3.0.1)
* Moved all json schema files to /util/schema
* Moved json files back to /util/, changed doc.py export location
* Added specification urls for entities and properties
Added specification urls for entities and properties.
Also added a function to parse actual property sets domain from the website to generate specification urls (domain on website and on github do not match).
Schema structure was changed:
ifc2x3_entities.json format:
entity_name -> description, spec_url, attributes;
attributes format: attribute_name -> attribute_descrption
ifc2x3_properties.json format:
property_set_name -> properties, spec_url
properties format: property_name -> description, children_properties
children_properties format: child_property_name -> child_property_description.
ifc2x3_property_sets_domains.json format:
property_set_name -> ifc_domain
New features
============
* Handle all syntax for ApplicableEntity as defined in IFC documentation. (drawback it increase request time by ~2/3)
* Allow to get applicable psets directly from template definition without caching.
This allow more general purpose usages. (drawback it increase request time by ~2.4)
To notice / discuss
===================
* `ifcwrap/CmakeLists` was installing only `.py` and `.bnf` files from `ifcopenshell-python`.
Why ? It now copy all files. Is it an issue ?
* property template file is now stored in ifcopenshell python module to allow usage
from every softwares. It was before only available for blenderbim addon.
* psets and qtos are now optionnally cached at object instead of module level.
This allow to work with multiple schema in the same python interpreter.
(eg. might help conversion between schemas)
* in blenderbim addon psetqto are now stored in `schema.psetqto`.
