class ifcopenshell.util.data.Clipping¶

apply(ifc_file: ifcopenshell.file, first_operand: ifcopenshell.entity_instance, unit_scale: float) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

Applies the clipping data as an IfcBooleanClippingResult to an operand

Parameters:

ifc_file – The model to create the entities in
first_operand – The representation item to apply the boolean clipping to.
unit_scale – The unit scale value to convert from the Clipping’s SI units to project units

Returns:

An IfcBooleanClippingResult which uses an IfcHalfSpaceSolid to clip the first operand

classmethod parse(raw_data: Any) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance | Clipping | None¶

Parse various formats into a clipping object

raw_data can be either:

IfcBooleanResult IFC entity
Clipping instance
dictionary to define Clipping - either location and normal
or a matrix where XY plane is the clipping boundary and +Z is removed. matrix method will be soon to be deprecated completely.
