IfcOpenShell is a library to support the IFC file format
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, IFC4x3, and IFC4x3. 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), the BlenderBIM Add-on (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.
