class ifcpatch.recipes.TessellateElements.Patcher(src: str, file: ifcopenshell.file, logger: logging.Logger, query: str = 'IfcBeam', force_faceted_brep: bool = False)

Convert element body representations to tessellations or faceted breps

Some software have bugs that result in incorrect geometry being imported for more complex representation types, such as CSGs. This patch converts elements matching your query into a tessellation (or faceted brep for IFC2X3) which is generally supported by all implementations. Note that styles and shape aspects are not preserved.

See example bug: https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/issues/707

Parameters:

• query (str) – Query string to filter out elements to convert, defaults to “IfcBeam”

• force_faceted_brep (bool) – Force using IfcFacetedBreps instead of IfcPolygonalFaceSets, defaults to False

Example:

ifcpatch.execute({"input": "input.ifc", "file": model, "recipe": "TessellateElements", "arguments": ["IfcBeam", False]})
