BlenderBIM: feature request locking IfcGrid on import
I haven't seen too many IFC models with an actual IFC grid so far.
But BlenderBIM has support for IfcGrid and I use it quite a lot.
It speeds up my modelling and it's more accurate.
However I lock the grid in each XYZ direction.
Do you think it's a good idea to lock the IfcGrid on import in BlenderBIM? To make modelling more fool proof .
Slightly related: How could you select multiple objects at once in Blender and then lock the object for each one of them? I used to know the keyboard shortcut, but googling it I cant' find it anymore... was something like alt+shift+something. worked great. But I forgot.

That's a great idea! Implemented: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commit/de1dae8b6e8100068e09082215a987989a078ec5
After setting the lock, you can right click and "Copy All to Selected" to propagate your properties. This works for most properties, not just locking.
I don't think you can get that sort of rapid and positive response with proprietary software, great to watch
I just remembered, if you multi select and press alt before entering a value, it applies to all the selected items. Extemely useful I would say.
