Ryan Schultz 44339de804 Bonsai: toggle a profile type's length between typed and per-instance
Lets an occurrence's extrusion length be either driven by the type
(typed/shared, e.g. Revit-mapped mullions) or owned by the occurrence
(per-instance, editable), and lets the user switch between the two.

- bim.make_profile_length_per_instance: un-maps a shared mapped body into a
  per-instance SweptSolid (shared IfcProfileDef kept; the old mapped body is
  orphaned, not deleted, to avoid cascading to sibling instances), gives the
  occurrence its own IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage (so the Length UI appears), and
  normalizes the placement so the extrusion runs local Z 0->depth -- Revit puts
  the object and extrusion origins on opposite ends, which made extend_profile
  flip the origin.
- bim.make_profile_length_type_driven: the inverse -- re-maps the occurrence
  onto the type's shared representation, promoting the occurrence's body onto
  the type first if the type has no RepresentationMap.
- A "Per-instance Length" checkbox in the Type panel (a get/set property that
  reads the current mode straight from the IFC, so there is no stored state to
  desync).
- New occurrences of a mapped/typed profile type default to per-instance.
- recreate_profile now skips mapped bodies (reloading the mesh instead of
  regenerating), so assigning a length-driven type keeps the occurrence typed
  rather than un-mapping it mid-assign and emptying sibling instances via the
  shared-representation removal cascade.
- assign_type preserves a per-instance occurrence's own geometry/length
  (should_map_representations=False) instead of converting it to typed.

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.
