An addon for quick selection of IFC objects
Hi all!. BonsaiBIM is an amazing addon. Thanks to all of those who have contributed. Here is the github repo to a small plugin I have created ( fully in cursor :P) that works in tandem with BonsaiBIM to enable quick selection https://github.com/tankshield/ifcqselect This is helping me in assigning bulk custom P_Sets to similar objects. It's been tested on mac intel. Feel free to have a go!

Cool. Interestingly enough, there seems to have been a spurt of parallel solutions that have emerged recently...
Ah, nice. Didn't know about these two until now. :) Honey IFC seems like a standalone app, and IFCpeek seems like a command line tool. I'll try them both sometime though. The one here, ifcqselect works within blender and along side bonsaibim like any other add-on. Just install it from preferences>add ons and a sidebar appears, I think it has an intuitive UI, anyone is welcome to add functionality or request one. Or may be integrate this into Bonsai :) I wanted to select similar IFC objects, for example selecting IFCWall of certain thickness so that I can apply bulk custom P_Sets to them. So from the plugin I can type wall in the name field, and select width (or thickness depending upon how the wall thickness is stored in IFC) in the parameter field and add values between 0.148 to 0.153 in the Min & Max values respectively to select all IFCwalls with the thickness 0.15m. The Min and Max fields are given to account for modeling errors.
