The headless "IfcOpenShell" calculator had all Qto_SpaceBaseQuantities
formulas set to null for IfcSpace in both IFC4QtoBaseQuantities.json and
IFC4X3QtoBaseQuantities.json, so qto.py's `if not formula: continue`
skipped every quantity, no geometry task was queued, and spaces never
appeared in results (elements_quantified: 0). The Blender calculator
already computes these; they were just never ported to the
ifcopenshell.util.shape-backed calculator.
Map the eight computable quantities to existing util.shape functions,
mirroring the Blender calculator semantics (no new shape.py code):
GrossFloorArea=gross_get_footprint_area, NetFloorArea=net_get_footprint_area,
GrossCeilingArea=gross_get_top_area, NetCeilingArea=net_get_top_area,
GrossPerimeter=gross_get_footprint_perimeter, GrossVolume=gross_get_volume,
NetVolume=net_get_volume, Height=net_get_z.
Left null (matching the Blender ruleset, not guessed): GrossWallArea,
NetWallArea, NetPerimeter (Blender stub), and FinishFloor/CeilingHeight
(Blender derives these from sibling IfcCovering decomposition geometry,
which this per-element calculator architecture can't reach).
Verified on IFC4 (4x3 space extruded 2.5m): before -> {} / elements_quantified 0;
after -> GrossFloorArea 12, GrossPerimeter 14, Height 2.5, GrossVolume 30,
etc. - all exact matches to the extrusion. IFC4X3 formulas are identical
and the formula->function resolution is schema-agnostic.
Scope: fixes the IfcSpace case (the issue title). The 12 other all-null
classes noted in the issue (IfcDoor, IfcSite, IfcRailing, ...) are left as
follow-up.
This change was made with the assistance of an AI 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.
