BlenderBIM scripting

KinoKino
in General

Hello,

We are producing as-built meshes of building laserscans with RealityCapture. Meshes are finally used in Solibri to compare with designed building data to spot possible differences. Meshes are exported from RC as OBJ and converted to IFC with BlenderBIM with following steps:

  • prepare IfcProject, set IfcPerson and IfcOrganization, Site, Building and BuildingStorey names.
  • Import OBJ and associate it to BuildingStorey
  • Classify OBJ mesh as IfcBuildingElementProxy
  • Save/export IFC
  • Thats it :)

Is this something that could be scripted in BlenderBIM? We could possibly pay for this kind of script.

    Happy to write a script for this - a sample file would be appreciated to ensure the script works. If it does work and it adds value to your business, a donation would be much appreciated to OSArch so we can continue to help people or to the open source BIM collective, or to another open source initiative of your choosing :)

    Curious if any progress has been made with this idea.

    Yes, @Moult made this script https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/blob/v0.7.0/src/blenderbim/obj2ifc.py and a Windows binary (no public link) that I've tested in few projects. It works well most of the time. OBJ's with multiple objects are not recognized and need to be merged elsewhere.
