Is There an Open API to Generate BCF with Snapshots from Clash?

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a clash from an IFC file and export the results as a BCF with a snapshot. I've already managed to generate the BCF but haven't found a viable way to create the snapshot. Is it necessary to manually change the view for the user and take a screenshot? Or is it possible to process this entirely on the backend?

    This is currently only implemented in Blender. We don't yet have a "snapshot" rendering method that works without Blender.

    Can you please give me some hints about creating BCF?
    Thanks

    Just to confirm and try to understand what i'm doing wrong, the process in Blender to generate a BCF from clash:

    • Import a clashset
    • Check the "Create snapshots"
    • Execute IFC Clash
    • Change export name to end with ".BCF"

    That's the error i get:

    Any solution to make this work?

    And this is exactly what I need to be able to enrich the imported ToDos from Trimble Connect. The viewpoint, camera settings and the snapshot are provided by TC.

    For now i'm using the bcf-api-xml (https://github.com/bimdata/BCF-API-XML-translator), can create and read bcfzip files
    For create you can use the function to_zip()
