Fixes mapping of vertical alignment parabola business logic to geometry. Adds creation function of h and v alignment. Adds stationing referent at start of alignment. Fixes utility functions
(I hope I don't miss anything, no tests seem to fail and performance is increased significantly) but because `subelement_queue` initiated with the `traverse` all `element`'s subelements will be traversed inside `while` loop twice - once as a part of initial queue and another time when `element` is traversed inside the loop and all those elements added to the queue again.
Now we just initiate the `queue` with the `element` and it will be traversed inside the loop like any other element.
1) `do_not_delete` performs best when it's set
2) also_consider when `element` related elements go first, so there will be no need to traverse all other elements to see if they cover `element`'s inverses.
1) replaced walk with traverse(max_levels=1)
2) early return if there total_inverses == 0
3) early return if also_considered_inverses is enough to cover total_inverses
check schema version instead of accessing attribute directly (hasattr under the hood is just doing getattr and checking whether it returns AttributeError), so one less IFC access
Similar thing with element.Item to access IFC just once.
I don't like this, but PyPI makes it really, really hard to "discover"
optional deps and what they're used for. So it's just easier to make it
a mandatory dependency and advanced users can always strip it out. This
stops user reports about "it doesn't work out of the box I only did pip
install ifctester"
I guess this is a Bonsaism but it makes sense as named profiles are
significant, and it isn't the first time materials and profiles have
been treated as "rooted" in a sense. It's also annoying to keep on
having my profile library drop off when I'm just switching profiles.
Previously remove_profile would purge unused materials and profiles, but
remove_layer and remove_constituent wouldn't. This was as subtle
inconsitency. Now everything by default consistently retains materials
and profiles, and has options to change this default.
