IfcCircle

Return type:

ifcopenshell.entity_instance

create_axis2_placement_3d(position: VectorTuple = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), z_axis: VectorTuple = (0.0, 0.0, 1.0), x_axis: VectorTuple = (1.0, 0.0, 0.0)) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

Create IfcAxis2Placement3D.

Parameters:

position (VectorTuple, optional) – placement position (Axis), defaults to (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
z_axis (VectorTuple, optional) – local Z axis direction, defaults to (0.0, 0.0, 1.0)

create_axis2_placement_3d_from_matrix(matrix: numpy.typing.NDArray[numpy.float64] | None = None) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

Create IfcAxis2Placement3D from numpy matrix.

Parameters:: matrix (npt.NDArray[np.float64], optional) – 4x4 transformation matrix, defaults to np.eye(4)

create_ellipse_curve(x_axis_radius: float, y_axis_radius: float, position=Vector((0.0, 0.0)).freeze(), trim_points: Sequence[mathutils.Vector] = (), ref_x_direction: mathutils.Vector = Vector((1.0, 0.0)), trim_points_mask: Sequence[int] = ()) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

Ellipse trimming points should be specified in counter clockwise order.

For example, if you need to get the part of the ellipse ABOVE y-axis, you need to use mask (0,2). Below y-axis - (2,0)

For more information about trim_points_mask check builder.get_trim_points_from_mask

Notion: trimmed ellipse also contains polyline between trim points, meaning IfcTrimmedCurve could be used for further extrusion.

create_swept_disk_solid(path_curve: ifcopenshell.entity_instance, radius: float) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶: Create IfcSweptDiskSolid from path_curve (must be 3D) and radius

create_transition_arc_ifc(width: str, height: str, create_ifc_curve: bool = False) → tuple[list[mathutils.Vector], list[tuple[int, int], ifcopenshell.entity_instance | None]]¶

create_z_profile_lips_curve(FirstFlangeWidth: float, SecondFlangeWidth: float, Depth: float, Girth: float, WallThickness: float, FilletRadius: float) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

curve_between_two_points(points: tuple[mathutils.Vector, mathutils.Vector]) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶: Simple circle based curve between two points Good for creating curves and fillets, won’t work for continuous ellipse shapes.

deep_copy(element: ifcopenshell.entity_instance) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

extrude(profile_or_curve: ifcopenshell.entity_instance, magnitude: float = 1.0, position: mathutils.Vector = Vector([0.0, 0.0, 0.0]).freeze(), extrusion_vector: mathutils.Vector = Vector((0.0, 0.0, 1.0)).freeze(), position_z_axis: mathutils.Vector = Vector((0.0, 0.0, 1.0)).freeze(), position_x_axis: mathutils.Vector = Vector((1.0, 0.0, 0.0)).freeze(), position_y_axis: mathutils.Vector | None = None) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

Extrude profile or curve to get IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.

REMEMBER when handling custom axes - IFC is using RIGHT handed coordinate system.

Position and position axes are in world space, extrusion vector in placement space defined by position_x_axis/position_y_axis/position_z_axis

NOTE: changing position also changes the resulting geometry origin.

extrude_face_set(points: list[mathutils.Vector], magnitude: float, extrusion_vector: mathutils.Vector = V(0, 0, 1).freeze(), offset: mathutils.Vector | None = None, start_cap: bool = True, end_cap: bool = True) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

Method to extrude by creating face sets rather than creating IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.

Useful if your representation is already using face sets and you need to avoid using SweptSolid to assure CorrectItemsForType.

Parameters:

points (list[Vector]) – list of points, assuming they form consecutive closed polyline.
magnitude (float) – extrusion magnitude
extrusion_vector (Vector, optional) – extrusion direction, by default it’s extruding by Z+ axis
offset (Vector, optional) – offset from the points
start_cap (bool, optional) – if True, create start cap, by default it’s True
end_cap (bool, optional) – if True, create end cap, by default it’s True

Returns:

IfcPolygonalFaceSet

Return type:

ifcopenshell.entity_instance

extrude_kwargs(axis: Literal['Y', 'X', 'Z']) → dict[str, mathutils.Vector]¶

Shortcut to get kwargs for ShapeBuilder.extrude to extrude by some axis.

It assumes you have 2D profile in:

XZ plane for Y axis extrusion,

YZ plane for X axis extrusion,

XY plane for Z axis extrusion,

Extruding by X/Y using other kwargs might break ValidExtrusionDirection.

get_axis2_placement_3d_matrix(axis2_placement_3d: ifcopenshell.entity_instance) → mathutils.Matrix¶

> coords: list of 2d coords. Example: ((x0,y0), (x1,y1), (x2, y2)) > fillets: list of points from coords to base fillet on. Example: (1,) > fillet_radius: list of fillet radius for each of corresponding point form fillets. Example: (5.,) Note: filler_radius could be just 1 float value if it’s the same for all fillets.

Optional arguments: > closed: boolean whether curve should be closed (whether last point connected to first one). Default: True > create_ifc_curve: create IfcIndexedPolyCurve or just return the data. Default: False

< returns (points, segments, ifc_curve) for the created simple curve if both points in e are equally far from pt, then v1 is returned.

get_trim_points_from_mask(x_axis_radius: float, y_axis_radius: float, trim_points_mask: list[int], position_offset: mathutils.Vector | None = None) → list[mathutils.Vector]¶

Handy way to get edge points of the ellipse like shape of a given radiuses.

Mask points are numerated from 0 to 3 ccw starting from (x_axis_radius/2; 0).

Example: mask (0, 1, 2, 3) will return points (x, 0), (0, y), (-x, 0), (0, -y)

mep_bend_shape(segment, start_length: float, end_length: float, angle: float, radius: float, bend_vector: mathutils.Vector, flip_z_axis: bool) → ifcopenshell.entity_instance¶

Parameters:

segment (ifcopenshell.entity_instance) – IfcFlowSegment for a bend. Note that for a bend start and end segments types should match.
angle (float) – bend angle, in radians
radius (float) – bend radius
bend_vector (Vector) – offset between start and end segments in local space of start segment used mainly to determine the second bend axis and it’s direction (positive or negative), the actual magnitude of the vector is not important (though near zero values will be ignored).
flip_z_axis (bool) – since we cannot determine z axis direction from the profile offset, there is an option to flip it if bend is going by start segment Z- axis.

Returns:

tuple of Model/Body/MODEL_VIEW IfcRepresentation and transition shape data

mep_transition_calculate(start_half_dim, end_half_dim, offset, diff=None, end_profile=False, angle=None, length=None, verbose=True)¶

the difference from calculate_transition - get_transition_length is making sure that length will fit both sides of the transition
