ifcopenshell.guid

Reads and writes encoded GlobalIds

IFC entities may be identified using a unique ID (called a UUID or GUID). This 128-bit label is often represented in the form xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx. However, in IFC, it is also usually stored as a 22 character base 64 encoded string. This module lets you convert between these representations and generate new UUIDs.
