Dockerfile (renamed from Dockerfile_init, Dockerfile_update removed): - Run as a non-root `builder` user matching the host UID/GID (passed as --build-arg by create() from id -u/id -g), so build output under the bind mount stays owned by the host user instead of root. - Fix CCACHE_MAXSIZE: `ccache -M 5G` wrote its limit to a config file under /ccache at image-build time, but /ccache is a volume mount point, so that file gets shadowed by the (empty) volume the moment the container actually runs - the cap never took effect. Set CCACHE_MAXSIZE=5G as an image ENV instead. - Dedupe ccache/libffi-devel, add --setopt=install_weak_deps=False --setopt=tsflags=nodocs, add `git lfs install --system`, combine the dnf update+install into one layer. - Drop Dockerfile_update: it built FROM its own previous output, so every `update` call made the image strictly larger forever (Docker layers are append-only, `dnf clean` in a later layer can't shrink an earlier one). `update` now just calls create(), which already runs `dnf update -y` FROM a clean rockylinux:9 every time. compose.yaml: pin platform: linux/amd64 so this doesn't silently run under emulation on an ARM host. ifcos_env: - Split the previously-conflated stop/down into six distinct, Compose-native lifecycle commands: up (create-or-start), down (remove), stop, start, restart (stop+start, same container), recreate (down+up, fresh container). Previously `stop` was aliased to `down`, which silently removed the container instead of pausing it. - Implement try(): copies the built wrapper into a real Blender/Bonsai install for manual testing, reading the target from a new BLENDER_USER_RESOURCE .env variable and auto-detecting the built Python version (disambiguating via PY_TGT for multi-version builds). Deliberately kept human-only - it mutates a live Blender install, so it shouldn't run unattended as part of an automated/AI workflow, which should instead copy the wrapper into the repo's own src/ifcopenshell-python/ifcopenshell/ (documented in SKILL.md). - Fix unique(): the "has .env already got a UNIQUE_ID line" check referenced an unset $FILE instead of $ENV_FILE, so it always evaluated true and appended a fresh "UNIQUE_ID=dummy" line to .env on every single `up`. - Minor: differentiate remove()'s log message from down()'s (no longer identical now that they're distinct operations), tidy help text alignment and a stray double-space typo in clean(). SKILL.md: rewritten as current-state documentation (no more "fixed in this copy" changelog framing) covering the above, plus a migration note for anyone hitting root-owned leftovers from an older image. Verified by actually building the image and driving every new lifecycle command (stop/start/restart keep the same container ID; down+up and recreate produce a new one) and try() (including the quoted-tilde BLENDER_USER_RESOURCE edge case) against the real container. Generated with the assistance of an AI coding tool.
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.
