Gorgious56 90ea256cc3 Shift-click add-opening preserves filling placement
The regular bim.add_opening click on the host-add-opening gizmo
(wall + door/window co-selected) routes through
FilledOpeningGenerator.generate, which snaps the filling to the
wall's reference-line axis, optionally rotates 180° when the
filling sits on the opposite side, and re-applies an rl1 / rl2
Z-elevation default. That is the right default for "drag a fresh
door onto a wall and let the model place it for me", but defeats
the workflow where the user has already positioned the filling
precisely (e.g. snapped to a window in an adjacent wall, copy-
pasted at an exact Z, aligned to a reference object).

Holding SHIFT while clicking the gizmo now opts into a
"preserve placement" mode: the filling stays at its current
matrix_world and the opening is created at the filling's existing
position. The opening / filling rels and representation work are
unchanged — only the snap-to-axis branch is skipped, so the IFC
graph is identical to the regular click; only the spatial
position of the filling differs (user-chosen vs auto-snapped).

Implementation:

* bim/module/void/operator.py: AddOpening gains a hidden
  preserve_placement BoolProperty + an invoke() that sets it from
  event.shift. The call into FilledOpeningGenerator.generate
  forwards the flag. bl_description documents the SHIFT modifier
  so it surfaces in F3 search / hover tooltip.

* bim/module/model/opening.py: FilledOpeningGenerator.generate
  accepts preserve_placement (default False — backwards-compatible
  with the other caller, tool.Model.add_filled_opening). The
  voided_obj.data-gated snap block (raycast + axis projection +
  rl-Z default + filling_obj.matrix_world write) skips entirely
  when the flag is True. The opening's matrix_world reads from
  filling_obj.matrix_world below the gate, so the opening lands
  at the filling's preserved position automatically.

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.
