set_space_representation_from_polygon was localising the footprint and clipping planes by subtracting only the object origin. For spaces with a rotated ObjectPlacement (e.g. Space 5710 in the test IFC) the footprint was not rotated into the space's local coordinate system, so the regenerated mesh was rotated by the placement angle and appeared at the wrong world location. Now the polygon and planes are transformed with the full inverse of the object's placement matrix, and the plane normals are also rotated. The local mesh is therefore aligned with the object's local axes and appears in the correct world position when the placement is applied. Added regression tests for Space 5710 (rotated placement) and Space 2363 (identity placement) using the real HouseWithGarage_AC22_IFC2X3.ifc fixture. 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.
