Hi,
I'm trying to understand IfcGroup and its various use cases. I have seen that IfcGroup is used in copying a set of entities. What are the other use cases where I can use ifcGroup?
I used IfcGroup when developing Linked Aggregate.
As I understand, it's just a way to group elements in arbitrary concepts, that does not belong to the spatial tree. In my case, I used to create a link between aggregates. All the aggregates that belong to the same group should be equal, so the IfcGroup is a way to select them all and update them accordingly.
In BlenderBIM, IfcGroup is also used to create a connection between annotation elements and drawings.
