* Linked IFC projects enhancement (multiple links to same project file)
- Implement link management system using UUIDs as identifiers to support multiple links to the same IFC file
- Add georeferencing compatibility detection and UI display (NONE, NOT_COMPATIBLE, PARTIAL_COMPATIBLE, FULL_COMPATIBLE)
- Support for duplicate link creation with Shift+D shortcut and automatic position offset
- Add false origin and project north calculation from 3D cursor for MANUAL mode
- Only store one cache per file, regardless of the amount of links
- Prevent duplicate links based on filepath and position comparison
- Improve error handling for missing files and loading failures
- Update tests
* Remove duplicate georef UI
I try to avoid duplicate UI (especially for one that can be as
sophisticated as georef - e.g. missing is WCS) as it means double the
code, double the tests, potential user confusion. BTW the note about
vertical datum isn't quite accurate as it may be included in the CRS
definition so vertical datum is optional.
* Remove depsgraph_update_post handler for update_link_ui_on_transform as per core developer feedback
* Move get_projected_crs to geolocation module
* Refactor get_projected_crs to simplify as per core developer feedback
* Remove unused import of bonsai.tool from project module
* Use IfcDocumentInformation per linked file and IfcDocumentReference for locaiton information
* Refactor SaveBlendMetadataFile operator to remove try-except blocks and remove linked projects collections since they are recreated by bonsai
* Cleanup removing empty collection instances for linked models in metadata.blend file and call determine_georeferencing_compatibility on link reload
* Add locking mechanism for linked models and update UI to reflect lock status
* Update logic that track IFC to execute_ifc_duplicate_operator instead of having it in execute() which does not track IFC undo/redo
* Refactor link handling to use get_link_empty_handle and set_link_empty_handle methods which in turn use the standard blender-ifc integrations patters (tool.Ifc.get_object(doc_reference) and tool.Ifc.link(doc_reference, empty_handle)
* remove operator.DuplicateLink and move it to tool.Project.duplicate_link()
* Refactor link handling to use sequential identifiers (no need for STEP ID DocRef)
* Refactor IFC linking logic to handle cases without a parent IFC file loaded. Firts link flase origin becomes parent origin
* Lock should not affect selection.
This makes it consistent with grid / spatial lock, and also toggle
selectability is already implemented.
* Remove unnecessary check for loaded library as Blender seems to do this internally already
* Rename util to get_crs because in IFC4X3 you can also have geographic CRS not just projected
* Remove unnecessary call to determine_georeferencing_compatibility
This function is already always called prior to calculate_link_position
so shouldn't be called here. It's also a very expensive function: as it
currently stands, just to link a single IFC, ifcopenshell.open() is
called 3 times. This reduces it to 2.
* Store CRS as metadata for linked models, and compare metadata when indicating georeferencing compatibility
Previously, to check georeferencing compatibility, ifcopenshell.open()
was used. When linking large models, this adds considerable time and
memory usage. This instead captures the georef as standard metadata in
our .cache.json. This now reduces the ifcopenshell.open() calls back
down to only 1 as necessary (see previous commit).
* Use link index instead of link name to fetch link collection item
Link name runs into issues with name uniqueness. This is why you created
a function for "get next link ID". After this refactoring, we can no
longer worry about uniqueness and that function may be removed.
* Simplify reloadlink into just unload and reload (with cache disabled)
This function should not be responsible for editing any data.
* Remove unnecessary get_next_link_id as names no longer need uniqueness
This now frees up the name variable to track a more meaningful, human
name like IfcDocumentInformation's Name attribute.
* Rewrite get / set link_empty_handle to just use the link directly
This prevents needless logic to fetch the link and also removes issues
related to duplicate names.
* Temporarily remove logic in prop callback
Right now, pretty much all the logic is done in a prop callback. In
general logic in prop callbacks should be minimised, since it's hard to
test and easily triggered as a domino effect of another change, and may
also impact undo/redo.
* Remove code that unnecessarily removes cache
This code removes cache, which means any project unlinking an IFC auto
clears the cache for any other project which doesn't make sense, and
also breaks the ability to readd it quickly.
* Rewrite link, unlink, load, and unload IFC
There were a few issues tackled here:
- Operators that change any IFC data must use tool.Ifc.Operator and
_execute, otherwise undo/redo will break. That's one of the risks of
using prop callbacks, as it is not explicit when an IFC edit happens.
- The usage of IfcDocumentReference was not correct. The Location
should store the URL, _not_ the position. The position should be in the
Identification attribute.
- The URL was stored in IfcDocumentInformation location, which does not
work in IFC2X3. There are a few changes here to make it IFC2X3
compatible.
- Generally move logic in operators, not prop callback.
* Remove restriction around manual mode.
Users should be able to use manual mode if they want.
* Restore AUTOMATIC mode to identical behaviour to file open
This is the first step to reusing cache files agnostic of the host.
* Revert tests for a fresh start for updating tests
* Revert "test_feature - clean up .ifc.cache. files after test was executed"
This reverts commit 99ae768ddf.
* Update tests and reimplement calculations for matrix of empty handle
Previously, the empty would always be placed at the origin, unless a
"position" offset was present. This is a problem, because the "position"
is simply a local offset relative to the Blender cache! If the cache was
regenerated, the offsets would be outdated. Also, the cache appeared in
different locations depending on the false origin mode, so the offset
would mean different things to different people.
Instead, a more robust method is:
1. When you link a file, a Blender cache is generated. The Blender
origin of this cache is arbitrary! It depends on the user's false origin
mode and is purely a Blender session specific thing.
2. When you load a link, a link is _always_ loaded into the correct
location with regards to IFC global coordinates. All math is done from
the perspective of IFC.
3. If you choose to transform (move / rotate / scale!?) this link from
its correct location, that gets recorded as a 4x4 transformation matrix.
Note: I haven't implemented this properly yet.
Tests all pass, with a minor modification to the new behaviour that
false origin mode now won't affect the location it ends up in, only the
generation of the cache.
* Remove arbitrary convention around display name
Not needed anymore now that A/M/D is a detail and not significant on
actual coordinates, and also that the UUID is no longer needed.
* Simplify implementation of loading linked models when opening an IFC
* Move link matrix calculation from operator to tool for reuse
* Implement editing link location and calculation of transformation matrix
I changed my mind on the is_locked thing, since it isn't clear to the
user that locking need to be done to save changes.
* Remove old is_locked, prop update callback no longer needed (dedicated operator instead), remove old calculation code
* Simplify code related to placed_as_per_georef
* For now, simple skip for duplicate / delete
IMO duplicate / delete / move a link are very rare and explicit
operations.
* Update tests
* Remove host_model coordinate data as cache is no longer host model dependent
* Move icons outside list because there are too many
* Minor tweaks

This reimplements @theoryshaw 's commit 9adbd4 but has a few upgrades:
- Considers all parent / child relationships, not just aggregates
- Puts business logic in core where it belongs and tool code in tool
- Uses existing utils where possible like get_decomposition
- Does not use name based collection checking which is fragile
- Reuses tool.Collector
- Makes container assignment handle the API's capability to do things
in bulk instead of one by one in a loop, so it's faster
- Tests
Enable importing multiple .svg reference files at once using
standard Blender multi-select (Shift/Ctrl+click).
Includes backward compatibility and test coverage.
