class bcf.v3.visinfo.VisualizationInfoHandler(visualization_info: bcf.v3.model.VisualizationInfo, snapshot: bytes | None = None, bitmaps: dict[str, bytes] | None = None, xml_handler: bcf.xml_parser.AbstractXmlParserSerializer | None = None)

Handle the VisualizationInfo and related objects.

classmethod create_from_point_and_guids(position: numpy.typing.NDArray[numpy.float64], *guids: str, xml_handler: bcf.xml_parser.AbstractXmlParserSerializer | None = None) VisualizationInfoHandler

Create a new VisualizationInfoHandler object from an IFC element.

Args:

position: target point coordinates. *guids: One or more IFC element GUID. xml_handler: The XML handler to use.

Returns:

The VisualizationInfoHandler object.

classmethod create_new(element: ifcopenshell.entity_instance, xml_handler: bcf.xml_parser.AbstractXmlParserSerializer | None = None) VisualizationInfoHandler

Create a new VisualizationInfoHandler object from an IFC element.

Args:

element: The IFC element to point at. xml_handler: The XML handler to use.

Returns:

The VisualizationInfoHandler object.

classmethod from_topic_viewpoints(topic_dir: zipfile.Path, vps: Iterable[bcf.v3.model.ViewPoint], xml_handler: bcf.xml_parser.AbstractXmlParserSerializer | None = None) dict[str, VisualizationInfoHandler]

Create VisualizationInfoHandler objects of a Topic’s ViewPoints.

get_elements_visibility() tuple[bool, list[str]] | None

Return viewpoint elements visibility settings.

Returns:

If viewpoint has no visibility settings, return None. Otherwise return a tuple containing the default visibility and a list of IFC element GUIDs listed as exceptions.

If default visibility is True, all elements are visible except the exceptions.

If default visibility is False, all elements are hidden except the exceptions.

get_selected_guids() list[str] | None

Return viewpoint selected elements IFC guids.

Returns:

If viewpoint has no selection settings, return None. Otherwise return a list of selected elements IFC guids.

Load the VisualizationInfo and related objects from a BCF zip file.

Args:

topic_dir: The directory in the BCF zip file to load from. vpt: The ViewPoint to load. xml_handler: The XML handler to use to parse the VisualizationInfo.

Returns:

The VisualizationInfoHandler object.

save(bcf_zip: bcf.inmemory_zipfile.ZipFileInterface, topic_dir: str, vpt: bcf.v3.model.ViewPoint) None

Save the VisualizationInfo and related objects to a BCF zip file.

Args:

bcf_zip: The BCF zip file to save to. topic_dir: The directory in the BCF zip file to save to. vpt: The ViewPoint to save.
