class ifcdiff.IfcDiff(old, new, relationships=None, is_shallow=True, filter_elements=None)

Main IfcDiff application

If you are using IfcDiff as a library, this is the class you should use.

Parameters:

• old (ifcopenshell.file.file) – IFC file object for the old model

• new (ifcopenshell.file.file) – IFC file object for the old model

• relationships (list[string]) – List of relationships to check. None means that only geometry is compared.

• is_shallow (bool) – True if you want only the first difference to be listed. False if you want all differences to be checked. Choosing False means that comparisons will take longer.

• filter_elements (string) – An IFC filter query if you only want to compare a subset of elements. For example: IfcWall to only compare walls.

Example:

from ifcdiff import IfcDiff

ifc_diff = IfcDiff("/path/to/old.ifc", "/path/to/new.ifc", "/path/to/diff.json")
ifc_diff.diff()
print(ifc_diff.change_register)
ifc_diff.export()
