After moving an IfcGridAxis in Blender, the drawing annotation was not tracking the axis to its new visual position. Two issues were found and fixed: 1. generate_grid_axis_reference_points used the IFC AxisCurve geometry (via create_shape) with the grid object's matrix_world. After a save, the IFC AxisCurve is updated but the Blender mesh is not rebuilt, causing the two sources to diverge. The fix reads the axis object's Blender mesh vertices directly with axis_obj.matrix_world, which always matches what Blender renders. 2. When no Blender axis object exists, falls back to reading IFC geometry with the grid object's matrix_world (unchanged behavior). Minor refactors: extracted matrices_differ variable in sync_grid_axis_object_placement (export_ifc.py and drawing.py) and extracted grid_placement variable in create_axis_curve.py for clarity. 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.
