BlenderBIM addon in UPBGE

1. B by bimlab on 6 Jul 2023, edited 7 Jul 2023 #

   Hi OSFellows,

   I was wondering about interesting mariage of BleenderBIM addon wwith blender's game engine (upbge). In simplest way I tried to install it in upbge as its done in blender but it raised an error saying that "shapely.lib" is missing. I was trying to copy it manually from installed addon on bllender but..there was no such lib there.

   Imagine having IFC file with all metadata brought to live in game engine. (ie Gamelike QA, construction simulations, training simulators or simply nice access to meta data). Does anyone tried this?

   Here is an error:

   This would be an awesome crossover ! I would expect a few hurdles though because UPBGE uses a custom fork of Blender so there may be discrepancies with the API and such that makes thing not click easily.

   For you problem though I would try copy/pasting the modules in site/packages from the blenderbim addon zip file to your blender install/version/python/lib/site-packages

   Is there a version of UPBGE that is Blender >= 3.1 that has Python 3.10? Can you try that with the latest stable release?

   If not also would be good to have a screenshare to debug. Catch me online on osarch.org/chat with the username Moult.
