I played around with the python console and blenderbim / ifcopenshell libraries, however, I cannot manipulate the current IfcProject for some reason. When I add some objects they do not show up in the scene. Do I miss anything here? Any transactions that I have to take into account?
You can get the currently loaded IFC dataset by doing:
from blenderbim.bim.ifc import IfcStore
ifc_data = IfcStore.get_file()
If you modify data there, you can refresh the Blender UI to re-read IFC data by doing:
blenderbim.bim.handler.purge_module_data()
If you add new objects, they definitely will not show up in the Blender scene. Currently there is no straightforward way to do this in a few lines of code. In the future, there will be, as we build features for more robust and controlled partial loading and reloading IFCs.
