Detailed Description

IFC file format exporter.

This module provides tools to export IFC files.

Function Documentation

buildAddress()

def exportIFC.buildAddress	(		obj,
			ifcfile
	)

Referenced by createProduct().

checkRectangle()

def exportIFC.checkRectangle

(

edges

)

 checkRectangle(edges=[]): This function checks whether the given form is a rectangle
   or not. It will return True when edges form a rectangular shape or return False
   when edges do not form a rectangular shape.

createAxis()

def exportIFC.createAxis	(		ifcfile,
			obj,
			preferences
	)

Creates an axis for a given wall, if applicable

References createCurve(), and getAxisContext().

Referenced by getRepresentation().

createCurve()

def exportIFC.createCurve	(		ifcfile,
			wire,
			scaling = 1.0
	)

createProduct()

def exportIFC.createProduct	(		ifcfile,
			obj,
			ifctype,
			uid,
			history,
			name,
			description,
			placement,
			representation,
			preferences
	)

creates a product in the given IFC file

export()

def exportIFC.export	(		exportList,
			filename,
			colors = None,
			preferences = None
	)

Export the selected objects to IFC format.

Parameters
----------
colors:
    It defaults to `None`.
    It is an optional dictionary of `objName:shapeColorTuple`
    or `objName:diffuseColorList` elements to be used in non-GUI mode
    if you want to be able to export colors.
