    Thank you, Dion and Petru for organizing the meeting. I learnt lots of stuff

    Was it recorded? If yes, where can I find it?

    Where can I find the IFC array modifier in the new Blender User Interface?

    Nevermind, found it. Just posting it here in case people will have the same question:

    By the way you can use the properties search e.g. search for "array" and it'll find what you're after.

    I was wondering, wouldn't it make sense to only show Stair, Window, Door, Railing and Roof modifier panels when the entity is correct for those ?

    Is there a new workflow of adding an IfcOpeningElement?

    Yes. Will do so unless you beat me to it :)

    Not exactly new, it's been that way for a while. You aren't meant to create standalone openings like that. An opening can only be applied to an object.

    What would be a recommend strategy to create a standalone opening? For example structural IFCs are full of openings in walls with no objects.

    Oh sure, select a wall, activate the BIM Tool, Shift-O to add a void, then shift select both the void and the wall then Shift-O to apply the void to the wall. You can see these hotkeys in the tool properties.

    I like changing my ifcopeningelements to an extrusion.

    I think the default opening should be an extrusion, vs a tessellation--would be easier to edit.

    I agree, and I think we also need to overhaul a bit the Representation features and get them out of the oubliettes in the mesh properties panel, so that it's easier to tweak element representations :)

    Yes. Will do so unless you beat me to it :)

    In that case I'll take advantage of night time in Australia to take a stab :)
