New ifcquery modules list geometric representation contexts (with step
IDs, context type, identifier, target view, parent) and material sets
(IfcMaterial, layer sets, constituent sets, profile sets). Exposed as
CLI subcommands and MCP tools.

Guard the face array reshape so elements whose triangulation is not
divisible by 3 are silently dropped. Also wrap each _add_shape() call
in a try/except so a broken shape never aborts the whole render.
Generated with the assistance of an AI coding tool.
Renders IFC model geometry to a PNG image using pyvista (off_screen).
ifcquery CLI:
ifcquery <file> render [-o out.png] [--selector QUERY]
[--element ID[,ID...]] [--view iso|top|south|north|east|west]
ifcmcp MCP tool:
ifc_render(selector, element_ids, view) -> list[ImageContent]
Returns base64-encoded PNG as an MCP ImageContent block so the agent
can inspect the model geometry inline.
Generated with the assistance of an AI coding tool.
ifcquery: validate [--rules], schedule [--depth N], cost [--depth N],
schema <EntityType>. ifcedit: quantify list/run subcommands using ifc5d
QTO rules. schedule and cost support max_depth to limit tree expansion,
replacing truncated levels with {truncated, count}. ifcmcp gains matching
session methods, @server.tool() decorators, and OpenAI tool schemas.
Generated with the assistance of an AI coding tool.
Uses ifcopenshell.geom.tree API directly to check an element for
intersections and clearance violations against sibling elements
(--scope storey) or the entire model (--scope all).
New subcommand: ifcquery <file> relations <element_id>
Returns all relationships for an element organised by category:
hierarchy (parent, container, aggregate, nest), children (contained,
parts, components, openings), type relationships, groups, systems,
zones, material, referenced structures, and connections/ports.
Empty categories are omitted from output.
Optional --traverse up flag walks the hierarchy from the element
up to IfcProject, returning the chain as a list.
Provides four subcommands for querying IFC models with JSON output:
- summary: schema, entity counts, project info
- tree: spatial hierarchy (Project > Site > Building > Storey > elements)
- info: deep element inspection (attributes, psets, type, material, container)
- select: filter elements using selector syntax
