Five code paths in slim PR2 referenced symbols that don't exist in v0.8.0's bim layer, raising at first call. Plus three type annotations that ty flagged as unresolved. 1. tool/system.py:get_decoration_data — drop the cache layer that keyed on a token from a bim/decorator_cache.py module. The cache is dead-or-broken in slim: the depsgraph bump handler that would invalidate the token lives in PR3's bim/handler.py decompose, so the token stays at 0 forever. Either the cache never hits (decorated_elements rebuilt → new id() per call) or returns stale data (list reused). Revert to direct `_build_decoration_data()` calls. PR3 reintroduces the cache atomically: decorator_cache module + handler install + cache wrap + tests. Keeps `_build_decoration_data` extraction (cleaner than v0.8.0's monolithic version regardless of cache). 2. tool/spatial.py — add `get_host_element` + `get_host_wall`. The interface stubs in `core/tool.py:1037-1038` were declared but never implemented. `tool/duplicate.py:99` (object duplication with fills) and `tool/model.py:1260` (array per-child opening mirror) call these and would raise AttributeError. 3. tool/model.py:recreate_wall — drop the fillet-corner branch that function-locally imports `regenerate_fillet_corner_wall` from `bim/module/model/wall`. The function lands with PR4; fall through to the straight-extrusion path preserves v0.8.0 behaviour for fillet walls until then. Tag FIXME(PR4). 4. tool/model.py — drop `get_pipe_segment_props` / `get_duct_segment_props` accessors. Their return types reference `BIMPipeSegmentProperties` / `BIMDuctSegmentProperties` which land with PR4's prop.py; calling either accessor on v0.8.0 would AttributeError on `obj.BIM<X>SegmentProperties`. Zero callers in slim — PR4 reintroduces both accessors together with the PropertyGroups they wrap. Also drops the matching TYPE_CHECKING imports. 5. tool/blender.py:557 — `Mapping[type[ViewportDecorator], bool]` needs the qualified `Blender.ViewportDecorator` because the annotation is on a method INSIDE the same nested class; the bare name doesn't resolve at type-check time. 6. core/tool.py Surveyor — drop the `obj: "bpy.types.Object"` / `z: float` / `-> float` / `-> None` annotations on `get_z_rotation` / `set_z_rotation`. The `@interface` decorator wraps each method as `classmethod(abstractmethod(...))` at import time, but ty doesn't track the wrap and flags every call site as `missing-argument` plus the `pass` body as `empty-body` against the declared return type, plus the `bpy.types.Object` forward-ref as `unresolved-reference`. Reverting to v0.8.0's untyped style (matching the sibling `get_absolute_matrix(cls, obj)` stub) clears six ty errors at the cost of zero runtime semantics — the abstract stubs only serve as registry markers, concrete `tool.Surveyor.*` carries the real signatures.

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.
