BlenderBim: a simple code to test IDS

Bimlooser

Hi guys, i found in the building smart IDS this code:

If i'd like to export to bcf the results is it correct to change the last row as below:
bcf_reporter = reporter.Bcf(my_ids)
report_data = bcf_reporter.report()
bcf_reporter.to_file('PathTo_SampleIDS.bcf') ????
If i'd like to load an .xml IDS file how i can change the first part of the script?
Hope everything is clear.
Thanks in advice for your reply

specs = ifctester.ids.open('/path/to/requirements.ids')
specs.validate(ifc)

Thanks a lot @Moult . If somone is interested below the code to create a bcf from a .xml IDS file:

import ifcopenshell
import ifctester
from ifctester import reporter

specs = ifctester.ids.open('C:\PathToFile.ids')

my_ifc = ifcopenshell.open(r'C:\PathToFile.ifc')

specs.validate(my_ifc)

bcf_reporter = reporter.Bcf(specs)
report_data = bcf_reporter.report()
bcf_reporter.to_file('C:\PathToFile.bcf')

My workflow is:

• use @c4rlosdias https://idsconverter.herokuapp.com/ tool to create IDS file.
• Use the script in Blender
• Visualize the results in BlenderBim loading the bcf file and for faucets that not concern IfcElements use "Ifc Tester" module inside BlenderBim that gives an Html file
