Add source-based clip box presets — a dropdown menu next to the Add Clip Box button lets the user pre-size a clip box to the bounding box of a chosen IFC source: a spatial element, IFC class, type, material, profile, drawing camera frustum, status, system, group, or zone. The picker dialog uses prop_with_search so files with hundreds of materials or types remain browsable. Add interactive face resize handles — six near-invisible click-target quads render on the active clip box when its empty is the active object. Dragging a face grows or shrinks the box one-sided on that axis; the opposite face stays fixed. Ctrl+Click on a face aligns the viewport to look at that face, following Blender's numpad-view convention applied to the box's local axes so rotated boxes align orthogonally to the screen. The gizmos honour negative-scale empties so the visible cube and the clickable handles stay aligned. Add settings and info menus — a gear-icon menu next to the Enable Clipping / Show Caps toggles exposes per-file preferences (cap only IFC products, show face handles); an info-icon menu adjacent documents the gizmo gestures. A quick-access toggle row also appears in the viewport Overlay popover, greyed out when no clip box exists, and orphaned clip-box list entries now expose an X button so users can recover from external host-empty deletions. Plumbing: cap rebuild fires synchronously on gizmo release and clip-box selection change, so the cross-section overlay re-forms without waiting for the depsgraph debounce; cap eligibility honours the "Only IFC Products" toggle. Includes 121 tests covering source resolution, drag math, face visibility, gizmo registration, and the view-alignment up-axis convention. 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.
