IFC file doesnt load correctly

[MauroLemmens]

When I open a IFC file into the model loader it shows like this:

and it should look like this:

What can I do to let it load correctly?

[agviegas]

Hey, can you provide link to the file to check it?

[MauroLemmens]

IFC file: miniproject.zip
Thanks for helping!

[MauroLemmens]

Hey, did you find what the problem is? I tried different IFC files and they also have missing parts.

[agviegas]

Hey, I've managed to reproduce it on my end, so we'll correct it eventually. As you know, this is not a finished library. We're investing all the time we have in moving forward, but I can't tell you when we'll be able to have this problem solved. Don't think we've ignored this issue, but it's not the only thing on the todo list!

Tried it with version 0.19
This is the error messages

[tomvandig]

Update for v 0.0.20

Some entities still unimplemented.

Solved! At least for @MenderBlender ...

The bug was caused by a change between IFC2x3 and IFC4 for type property SelfIntersect in IfcCompositeCurve which used to be LOGICAL (.T.) and is changed to IfcLogical (IFCLOGICAL(.T.)).

For file to load without error, the following lines in the attached IFC file Mini Project.ifc:

#1259= IFCCOMPOSITECURVE((#1225,#1229,#1235,#1239,#1244,#1248,#1254,#1258),.T.);
#1607= IFCCOMPOSITECURVE((#1225,#1580,#1585,#1589,#1594,#1598,#1603,#1606),.T.);

need to be changed to, respectively:

#1259= IFCCOMPOSITECURVE((#1225,#1229,#1235,#1239,#1244,#1248,#1254,#1258),IFCLOGICAL(.T.));
#1607= IFCCOMPOSITECURVE((#1225,#1580,#1585,#1589,#1594,#1598,#1603,#1606),IFCLOGICAL(.T.));

I'm guessing this is far from only instance of this issue, as IFC4 also introduces IfcBoolean replacing SOME INSTANCES of BOOLEAN.

@tomvandig I'm guessing there are other cases where IFC2x3 differs from IFC4 to refer to, before I reinvent the wheel?

P.S.

@dlabz great! Can you create a PR?

[agviegas]

Hey @dlabz if you don't create a PR or give a specific estimated date, we'll open the issue again! Cheers 🙂

[dlabz]

I got in to AdvencedBREP issue with @QuimMoya, and we lost three days on a bug, so probably won’t be able to cleanup the PR before the weekend.

If someone else is interested in this task, feel free to delegate.

I’ll focus on finishing IfcBSplineWithKnots and IfcRationalBSplineWithKnots.

[agviegas]

@dlabz ok! Could you please specify an estimated date for this one? Cheers!
