*****************
Hey guys from the community, I come here to explain a little in detail what is happening with the FreeCAD settings, more specifically about: importing and exporting IFC files.
As you can see whenever I perform the import or export operation in IFC, FreeCAD displays this error message, claiming that it doesn't have the IFCOpenShell database to run the operation, so I need to install it. So far so good and I understand.
At first I went into research and saw that this flaw is already old, but it turns out that it was with the previous version of Python 2.7. Here are some links I used as a reference initially.
As you can see, in the first link, there is the instruction to go when finished and use the command:
The message is in Portuguese, but the translation is:$sudo apt install ifcopenshell
Well, after hours trying to understand mainly the second link, I saw that the operation would be much more complex than just using a "sudo apt install", it turns out that their library is very large and laborious as I was analyzing their link on Github :Unable to find ifcopenshell package
So, with this report I believe that it will be better to understand my difficulty in using the function. Due to the great complexity of installing the IFCOpenShell packages, therefore, I would like to hear from you what I can do to better run this tool.
I know it's not on the topic, but the report is just for a better understanding of my difficulties, in this case I'm referring to using the ODA File Converter, as it is necessary to install such a Qt5.14 and as you saw above, the mine is 5.12 and from what I've read it's a lot of work and also heavy to enable it, but I've already solved it, I found a site that does the virtual conversion from dwg to dxf, and it worked perfectly in FreeCAD, just the registration of my complexities.
I hope you understand me and that together we can find the least complex and less cumbersome solution to install the IFCOpenShell packages.
