A real solution could be to compile IfcGeom into a dynamic library and compile multiple versions of _IfcImport.so for different configurations which are selected based on sys.maxunicode
Another alternative would be not to rely on strings when exchanging textual data but vectors of int that contain the string character codes
- Store shapes in std::vectors rather than TopoDS_Compounds
- Apply transformation only on triangulated meshes or when processing openings
- Store transformations in a gp_GTrsf to allow arbitrary transformations
- Support IfcCartesianTransformationOperator3DnonUniform
- TODO: Create proper class for ShapeList
- TODO: Carefully check for null pointers returned from IfcGeom::convert_shape()
- Disallow open curves for IfcPolygonalBoundedHalfSpace [fixes#3405490 Incorrectly rendered wall in FZK-Haus-EliteCAD.ifc]
- Disable tolerance on IfcCompositeCurve
- Try to convert IfcConnectedFaceSets to TopoDS_Solids regardless of whether they are open or closed shells, improves openings in IFC files exported by Revit
- Provide debugging information based on shape volume on IfcBooleanClippingResult and IfcOpeningElement
- Separate IFC parsing library and geometry libraries [#3395025]
- Added example for IfcParse usage without geometry or Open CASCADE functionality
- Cleanup of vcproj Open CASCADE dependencies
- Added function to query parent class type in IfcExpressParser.py
