Petru Conduraru 6603c8459a Fix pythonocc-core viewer compatibility in geom.occ_utils and geom.app (#1037, #1098)
set_shape_transparency() called AIS_InteractiveContext.SetTransparency(),
whose argument count is inconsistent across pythonocc-core versions
(reported as a TypeError in #1037). Set transparency directly on the AIS
object instead, the same stable pattern already used elsewhere in this
file (display_shape() calls ais.SetTransparency() directly, never through
the Context), then call Context.UpdateCurrentViewer() to refresh.

app.py's viewer used a "SetSelectionPriority(counter)"/"SelectionPriority()"
pair as an ad hoc unique key to map a displayed AIS object back to its IFC
product. On modern pythonocc-core this crashed with AttributeError because
.GetObject() (needed to unwrap the old handle-based API) no longer exists
on AIS objects (#1098, PR #1113 partially patched one of the two call
sites but left the one in HandleSelection unguarded).

Live pythonocc-core 7.9.3 testing showed the GetObject() guard alone is
not sufficient: SetSelectionPriority/SelectionPriority themselves have
been removed from AIS_InteractiveObject entirely in modern OCCT (only
AIS_Trihedron keeps a same-named but unrelated method for datum parts),
so gating the .GetObject() call with the existing USE_OCCT_HANDLE flag
would still crash the first time a shape is selected. Verified live that
AIS objects retain correct __eq__/__hash__ (matching the underlying OCCT
instance) across separate SWIG wrapper instances, so ais_to_product is
now keyed directly by the AIS object itself, removing the dependency on
the removed OCCT API and the GetObject()/handle distinction altogether.

Verified live against pythonocc-core 7.9.3 (conda-forge) using real
AIS_Shape objects obtained from ifcopenshell.geom.occ_utils.display_shape()
and a real IFC file: reproduced both the original TypeError (#1037) and
AttributeError (#1098), confirmed both fixes resolve them, and confirmed
the ais_to_product dict lookup round trips correctly through a real
Context.Select()/SelectedInteractive() call. Could not exercise the full
Qt-embedded viewer.finished()/HandleSelection() flow end to end because
this pythonocc-core build segfaults natively when creating a second GL
context inside a Qt widget on this macOS host, a pre-existing environment
issue unrelated to this diff (reproduces identically with unpatched code,
before any touched line executes).

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.
