Is there a way utilizing a IFC creation program to do this? Which IFC entity type would be recommended?
Which IFC entity type is important for generating a rectangle?
As mentioned in the other thread, IfcOpenShell can be used to do this.
There are any entity types which can be used. I’ve linked a few options below:
- IfcRectangleProfileDef
- IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef with a curve of some kind, the more intuitive of which might be an IfcPolyline
- IfcFace with a loop such as an IfcPolyLoop
There is no “recommended” way, as it is entirely dependent on your situation and which geometry your authoring tool works best with.
