The AECOO industry has some barriers, especially related to IFC, so I decided to work on two important areas besides our startup: IfcX, the next generation of IfcDoc. An easy to use web-based IfcDoc https://www.researchgate.net/project/IfcXtreme IfcLite, a lite .ifc format. The industry needs…

[image] IFC Modernization : Relationships Developers Is it possible to develop a new IFC based on just end entity? I mean a much shallower tree. [NewIFC] For instance, IFC just has end entities like IfcProject IfcProjectLibrary IfcSite IfcBuilding IfcBuildingStory …

[image] IFC Modernization : Relationships Developers I’m not a programmer, but because of our existing startup I have to learn the existing solution as much as I can, at least general things So, as I know generally, if a data structure has a “structured form” it’s better …

[IfcXtreme%20Concept%20--%20Ehsan%20Azari] IfcXtreme base concepts come from cross-platform visual programming and develop IFC entities as visual programming components and objects The concept develops based on “end entities” which explained in IfcLite project as a question The preliminary conce…

I developed the idea based that complete tree, but based on end entities, for instance, IfcProject or IfcSite are end entities on the hierarchical approach. What does it mean? It means that I’m going to build a middle-ware which shows an easy to understand end entity like the example IfcActor, whi…

These days I give some positive feedback, so decided to continue One of the must interesting was this one: Regarding IFC I think there are only two ways out: drop it and use something more modern and flexible, or build a layer that abstracts away all the details nobody cares about. At the end of…

[image] IFC SQLite Project Developers Dear friends, Do you think finishing some unfinished projects like IFC SQLite will help and speed up IFC development and implementation or not? Some say yes and some say no Would be happy to hear from you, Kind regards, Ehsan Azar…

[image] IFC for relational databases - ifcSQL Serializations While Relational + Graph database combination is technically possible, feasibility and practicality of handling two databases at the same time can be a critical issue. @bsbock #6 looks like a better approach unl…

Nowadays, IFD and mainly IFC play a vital role in the OpenBIM environment all around the world, and accordingly, IfcDoc tool from buildingSMART International has become a critical tool for digital built environment industry. But this critical tool has had a lot of issues which I just focus on some …

Usage of property "ConstructionMethod" in Pset ConcreteElementGeneral IFC

I investigated IFC4 ADD2 carefully, and I think there are a lot of Enumerations that doesn’t contain enough data/information, and just provide minimum data/information which even ISO 19650 suggests And there are a lot of UserDefineds too which some Entities have and some don’t have ConstructionMethod has a lot of usages which one of the main one is in the construction phase and mainly Precast In practice, IFC with UserDefined gives the freedom to add all custom data/information needed which i…

Store, modify and retrieve ifc-data with ifcSQL Serializations

Please mind that we mostly have focused to develop IFC schema based on “Relational or Object-Relational” approach And I think @bsbock helped a lot in this way It’s NOT about the database “FROM” .ifc file which the majority solved issues here and today the majority of solutions in the market convert the .ifc file to SQL RDF, OWL, BerkleyDB and anything these days the majority use are good, but not great I think the majority didn’t think about “Smoothness” and “Performance”

IFC for relational databases - ifcSQL Serializations

But to switch to a modelling tool makes you dependent on the data model of the modelling-tool. This is why I introduced IfcXtreme project, in practice, it would be a custom-made schema modeling and editor which end users can put entities on canvas and set and control relationships, add templates and Psets, add rules, set processes, so on [IfcXtreme%20Concept%20--%20Ehsan%20Azari] It will open a door to a modern IfcDoc

[SOLVED] Where do I find computer interpretable pset assignments? Developers

@sergej Does IFC is just based on XSD or have applied other solutions like Schematron too? More info: http://www.topologi.com/public/Schtrn_XSD/Paper_onlyXSD.html

Anyone know how to get this ifcschemareader.py working? Developers

I think many have worked on Object-Oriented approach, especially restoring Ifc and IfcXML data/information in Object-Oriented databases But few have worked on “Relational” approach There are two parts: Develop an IFC data/information model (schema) IFC SQLite IFC SQL IFC XML IFC XML + Improvers (like Schematron) IFC JSON Graphs (Like Triple, RDF, OWL, …) Restore IFC data/information in databases Relational database Object-Oriented database Graph database So, what are you talking about…
