Integration of BlenderBIM Features : FreeCAD Arch/BIM - Native IFC

[ragohix769]

I've tried too and I confirm Paul, it's augmented: now to open the same file it takes 277 seconds (4,6 min) and saving to *.FCStd it's now about 48,1 MB.

Latest version requires about 6 min to import the same ifc on my i3.

I confirm Paul, it's augmented: now to open the same file it takes 277 seconds

That is because I am experimenting with different import strategies... There will still be highs and lows in the coming weeks, don't expect stability or constant improvement just yet

But looking at your screenshot @paullee you are not using the bb importer... These arch components are made by the Arch importer

Ok ok Yorik, it was just to see that a NativeIFC Authoring it's an implementation already in progress in FreeCAD, that's really cool!

If you need any testing, please let me know without problem

Oops

So, there is still no pop up dialog box asking which importer to use

Me too here, no importer selectable:
*********************
#### To test

* Run FreeCAD
* `File` → `Open` or `File` → `Insert`, select an IFC file
* Select the BlenderBIM importer (bb_import)

********************
Ok [EDIT]

I think that I know what's going on, at least in my machine/installation.

If do Open>File>selecting the IFC file, there is no importer selection, but the file is imported superfast in 9-10 seconds very clean (in my Ryzen7:16cores@32_GB machine), and if I save to *.FCStd it's only 13 MB.

But... If I clic on recent files on startup, then the importer I think it's not used, I dont' know why, but it's used instead some Arch component to import, mega slow and a mess on error on report review. And if you save it, it creates a file large same like the the original *.IFC

Confirmed, I suspect something is wrong, and both File>Open, or New>Import, import superfast - about 1min.

Then, noted Ragohix's finding above about opening the ifc in 'recent files' in startup; confirm in this case it creates lots of Arch Component, i.e. 'existing' ifc importer.

OK, then let's try tweaking it to get some more output:

Code: Select all

import subprocess
import addonmanager_utilities as utils
python_exe = utils.get_python_exe()
args = [python_exe, '-m', 'pip', 'install', '--disable-pip-version-check', '--target', '/home/beast/snap/freecad/common/AdditionalPythonPackages', 'ifcopenshell']
proc = subprocess.run(args)
print(proc.stdout.decode())
print(proc.stderr.decode())

Result:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'

Aha... I think I also see what can happen: I think both importers use exactly the same desciption for IFC files, and there is some mix-up done somewhere... I'll try changing a bit the one in bb

JFYI, chennes and I have been working to get the snap edge to play nice installing ifcopenshell and found an issue. Hopefully it will get addressed in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-snap/issues/68 so testers can use snaps for testing this workbench as well.

Tested latest commit (5 days ago by carlopav)

Noted the File-Open / File-Import dialog box provide IFC-Native option to select Right click, Reveal Children works, and an Site object is revealed - time consuming though

Further Reveal Children though after revealing another child object (Building?) crash FC.
