More IFC Manipulation tools

I really love the "ifcTransformReferenced" key-in. It's the easiest way I know of to relocate an IFC file, keeping all other information intact.

It would be so nice to get some similar features for:

  • Splitting IFC file: For example we often receive a steel model that also contains some concrete "reference" elements. We don't want these concrete elements in that model because they are duplicate from another model and often not geometrically accurate.

  • Joining IFC files: When receiving multiple sub-models (for example separate buildingstoreys, separate production entities like stairs, ...) it's a bit of a hindrance to have them as a long list of separate models for BIM Coordination. Joining them into a single IFC file, keeping the original structure intact (like ifcBuilding, Buildingstoreys, ...) would be very useful!

How frequently will feature be used? A few times a week
How much time will you save? couple of hours at least on each project

    Hi Johan, thank you for your idea. We would need more information about your use cases, what you do with the IFC file after you have created the needed view of the IFC file?
