Python API access to IFC model database?

Hello,

 

Recently I am required to study the possiblity of export/import IFC Attributes like those shown in the  IFC Project Manager. But I can't find any useful method under python to achieve this. Is it possible to extract those IFC Attributes from python API at all? Or it could only be done via Add-on? Thanks.

Hi!

With the standard Python API this is not possible to my knowledge. An Add-On can do all of that and it would be also possible to make an Add-On which provides this functionality for the Python API.

 

But I think you'll need an Add-On for this one way or another.
