ifcmerge resolves object-placement conflicts (the same object moved in both branches) by silently keeping one branch's position. The user gets no indication that their move was discarded (#6885). Newer ifcmerge can list these auto-resolutions in its JSON report. Parse that report on success as well as on failure, store the resolutions, and show them in the Git panel: which objects were moved in both branches, which branch's position was kept, with a select-in-viewport button per object. The merge operator also reports a warning with the count, and the Ctrl+click merge preview shows the affected objects before anything is committed. With an older ifcmerge that writes no report on success, behaviour is unchanged. Resolutions are stored after the display-branch switch, because that switch triggers a revision list refresh which clears stored reports. Cap the conflict and resolution lists at 50 rows each, since reports can contain thousands of entries. Also fix two mergetool tests that broke when the unmerged_blobs guard was added: a bare MagicMock is truthy, so git_mergetool returned [] where the tests expected None. Fixes #6885 Generated with the assistance of an AI coding tool.
IfcOpenShell
IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.
In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
