Create IfcElementType from IfcElement?

1. S by smr02 on 29 Aug 2024, edited 3 Sep 2024 #

   I'm looking for a way to create a IfcElementType from a existing IfcElement?

   1. Duplicate the element, (Shift-D)

   2. declassify / break the classification

   

   3. the existing Element will remain the same

   

   4. re classify as the Element type of your choice

   A simpler method is to use the type manager.

   1. Select your object you want to use the geometry of.

   2. Launch type manager

   3. Add new "Custom Mesh" type.

   Thank you!

   However, in both ways, I loose my psets. Is there a way to keep them?

   I think we probably should support reassigning occurrence class to type class.

   I created an issue to keep track of the progress - https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/5260
