With one line of code, let's print all the wall types used in a BIM project. Powerful, blazing fast: process hundreds of megabytes of BIM data in a split second. Here's today's #IFC code snippet, to help you on your way to Go #OpenBIM, Go #OpenSource:

[print(wall_type.Name) for wall_type in ifc_file.by_type('IfcWallType')]

This. This changes things. A lot.

Go #opensource. Go #OpenBIM. Quit #Revit. Quit #Autodesk.

Are you involved in #architecture #engineering or #construction? I'd like to propose the creation of an #opensource buildingSMART chapter, to help represent FOSS devs to help increase transparency and ethical behaviour in the built environment.

Did I mention how AWESOME it is to create #OpenBIM #IFC files with #Blender?

The brand new Blender exporter is now available as super experimental code as part of IfcOpenShell, check it out here:

https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/tree/v0.6.0/src/ifcblenderexport

You no longer need to export to #FreeCAD to produce #IFC files. Do it directly in Blender! There's also an importer ;)
