The GL backend is gone (task #53). The wgpu/non-wgpu folder split and the Wgpu* class prefix were both disambiguation artefacts from the overlap period — now pure dead weight. ## Folder + library merge * `src/ifcviewer-wgpu/` → folded into `src/ifcviewer/` (git mv tracks every file as a rename so blame/log history survives). * `src/ifcviewer-wgpu-minimal/` → `src/ifcviewer-minimal/` (the exe was already named `IfcViewerMinimal`; this just brings the folder + CMake target name into line). * `src/ifcviewer-wgpu/tests/test_wgpu_{selection,visibility}.cpp` → `src/ifcviewer/tests/test_{selection,visibility}.cpp`, folded into the existing `add_ifcviewer_unit_test(...)` helper. * The `IfcViewerWgpu` static library is dissolved — its sources become part of the unified `IfcViewer` static library, which now bundles scene/loader + renderer in one target. The pre-merge circular dependency (IfcViewer linking IfcViewerWgpu just to get the ViewportWindow.h include path that SceneLoader.h needs) goes away. * The wgpu-native FetchContent block, the Cocoa/QuartzCore link on Apple, the OBJCXX-enabled `.mm` source, and the wgpu-native runtime install all move into `src/ifcviewer/CMakeLists.txt` unchanged. ## Type renames (Wgpu prefix dropped from every Wgpu* identifier) WgpuAreaMeasurement → AreaMeasurement WgpuBufferPool → BufferPool WgpuLengthMeasurement → LengthMeasurement WgpuMetalSurface → MetalSurface WgpuModelGpuData → ModelGpuData WgpuOverlayFrame → OverlayFrame WgpuOverlayRenderer → OverlayRenderer WgpuSectionPlane → SectionPlane WgpuSelectionState → SelectionState WgpuStreamingLoader → StreamingLoader WgpuStreamingThread → StreamingThread WgpuViewportWindow → ViewportWindow WgpuVisibilityState → VisibilityState CMake target IfcViewerWgpuMinimal → IfcViewerMinimal (exe name was already this since wgpu shipped as default). Deliberately kept: `onWgpuLog` (wgpu-native log callback — names a binding to an external API, not one of *our* types), and the WGPU* enum/struct prefixes from wgpu-native's own headers. `WgpuMemProbe` lives in the separate `src/wgpu-mem-probe/` standalone diagnostic project and isn't touched. ## Include-path updates Every `#include "../ifcviewer-wgpu/Wgpu<X>.h"` → `"../ifcviewer/<X>.h"`, every in-directory `#include "Wgpu<X>.h"` → `"<X>.h"`. Includes from sibling subdirectories (modules/, etc.) are updated to point at `../../../ifcviewer/` instead of `../../../ifcviewer-wgpu/`. ## cmake/CMakeLists.txt simplification The redundant `add_subdirectory(ifcviewer-wgpu)` blocks (one inside the BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER fan-in, one in the BONSAIVIEWER-less standalone block) collapse into a single unconditional `add_subdirectory(../src/ifcviewer ifcviewer)`. The standalone block keeps only `wgpu-mem-probe` (the diagnostic tool, unrelated to the viewer lib). ## Verification * Full build green: `IfcViewer` static lib, `IfcViewerMinimal` exe, `BonsaiViewer` exe, all four pre-existing ifcviewer unit tests, and the two new-location tests (`test_selection`, `test_visibility`). * No stray `Wgpu<X>` identifier remains across `src/ifcviewer/`, `src/bonsaiviewer/`, `src/ifcviewer-minimal/` (verified by grep). * Renames tracked by git as `R` entries — `git log --follow` on ViewportWindow.cpp etc. continues to show history through the move.

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.
