Hover-gated viewport preview lines that show where a wall-join / extend / split operator would land before the user clicks. Four preview paths, each gated on a specific icon's ``is_highlight`` state: * **Join intersection** — two LAYER2 walls selected in the ``intersect`` state (non-joined, non-collinear, non-parallel). Draws four lines: each wall's axis at both base and top Z, extending from the wall's nearer endpoint to the projected XY intersection. The pair of lines per wall communicates the full plane the join welds at, not just the floor edge. * **Cursor extend** — single LAYER2 wall, hover on ``extend_x_gizmo``. One line from the wall's nearer X endpoint to the cursor's projected X on the wall axis. * **Cursor extend-Z** — hover on ``extend_z_gizmo``. Vertical line at the cursor's projected X from wall base to cursor Z (the new total height). * **Cursor split** — hover on ``split_gizmo``. Vertical line at the cursor's projected X from wall base to wall top — the cut plane. Warning-red colour matches the icon's destructive-action signal. Hover colour rules for the join preview: * **Join or Fillet hover** → all four lines highlight in ``decorator_color_selected``. Both icons commit a symmetric corner meet, so every line is part of the operation. * **Extend-to-Wall hover** → only the non-active wall's two lines (base + top) highlight. The default-direction extend operator moves the non-active wall into the active one's axis; only that wall's preview should signal motion. * No hover → all four lines in ``decorations_colour``. Three coordinated changes: * ``bim/module/model/wall.py`` gains the ``_classify_wall_join_state`` wrapper over ``core.classify_wall_join_state`` (feeds the ``_are_walls_joined`` flag the core helper expects) AND a ``_active_instances`` per-region weakref ClassVar on ``GizmoWallJoinIntersection`` populated in ``setup()``. Without the weakref registration, the decorator's ``_lookup_active_instance`` call returns None every frame and the hover gates silently evaluate False — the symptom would be preview lines that never switch colour. Both pieces ported from gizmos-8088. * ``bim/module/model/decorator.py`` gains ``WallGizmoPreviewDecorator`` (~280 LOC across the four preview paths + shared helpers ``_stroke`` / ``_active_layer2_wall_for_gizmo_preview`` / ``_join_group_hover_state`` / ``_extended_wall_index``). All cross-file dependencies (``core.classify_wall_join_state``, ``core.wall_join_preview_lines``, ``_stroke_lines_alpha``, ``_cursor_icon_hovered``, ``_lookup_active_instance``, ``tool.Parametric.is_path_connectable_wall``, ``_wall_axis_world_segment_from_geom``) already on HEAD. * ``bim/handler.py`` wires ``WallGizmoPreviewDecorator.install()`` / ``.uninstall()`` alongside the other always-on preview decorators. The decorator self-polls every frame; cost is one selection-count check + one ``is_highlight`` read when no eligible state is active. Verified: headless smoke green, ruff + black clean. Live testing confirms the four preview paths fire correctly when hovering each icon. 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.
