BlenderBim: a simple code to test IDS

1. B by Bimlooser on 7 Jul 2023, edited 8 Jul 2023 #

   Hi guys, i found in the building smart IDS this code:

   

   If i'd like to export to bcf the results is it correct to change the last row as below:

   **bcf_reporter = reporter.Bcf(my_ids)

   report_data = bcf_reporter.report()

   bcf_reporter.to_file('PathTo_SampleIDS.bcf')** ????

   If i'd like to load an .xml IDS file how i can change the first part of the script?

   Hope everything is clear.

   Thanks in advice for your reply

   specs = ifctester.ids.open('/path/to/requirements.ids')
   
   specs.validate(ifc)

   Thanks a lot @Moult . If somone is interested below the code to create a bcf from a .xml IDS file:

   import ifcopenshell

   import ifctester

   from ifctester import reporter

   specs = ifctester.ids.open('C:\PathToFile.ids')

   my_ifc = ifcopenshell.open(r'C:\PathToFile.ifc')

   specs.validate(my_ifc)

   bcf_reporter = reporter.Bcf(specs)

   report_data = bcf_reporter.report()

   bcf_reporter.to_file('C:\PathToFile.bcf')

   My workflow is:

   • use @c4rlosdias https://idsconverter.herokuapp.com/ tool to create IDS file.

   • Use the script in Blender

   • Visualize the results in BlenderBim loading the bcf file and for faucets that not concern IfcElements use "Ifc Tester" module inside BlenderBim that gives an Html file

   AMAZING
