Deleting a part (segment) of a dimension in item mode silently failed and the part reappeared when the representation reloaded. Multi-segment dimension annotations store their segments as Elements INSIDE an IfcGeometricCurveSet; tool.Geometry.remove_representation_item only recognized IfcShapeRepresentation and IfcBooleanResult inverses, so for a nested segment the item was never detached and remove_deep2 refused to purge it (an external inverse remained). The Blender object vanished, the IFC entity stayed, and the reload brought it back. Recognize IfcGeometricSet inverses: detach the item from Elements and let remove_deep2 purge it. If the item is the set's last element (Elements is SET [1:?]), remove the whole set recursively instead, which keeps the representation valid. This affects all GeometricSet-based annotations (dimensions, leaders, etc.), not just the reported model. Verified live in headless Blender on the reporter's model: deleting item #286487 of annotation #82782 left the entity in the file before the fix ("victim entity STILL EXISTS") and removes it after ("victim entity gone", Elements reduced, saved file verified clean with pure ifcopenshell); deleting both elements removes the entire curve set leaving a valid Items list. TestRemoveRepresentationItem + shape-aspect tests: 4 passed. Generated with the assistance of an AI coding tool. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
