IFC schema tree preview

Hi all,
I’ve published a compact IFC Visual Cheat Sheet: a single-page map of key IFC classes and relationships to speed up reading the official spec.

Repo: lab-openbim
- SVG (editable): https://github.com/JBA69/lab-openbim/blob/main/IFC%20SCHEMA%20TREE.svg
- PDF (print): https://github.com/JBA69/lab-openbim/blob/main/IFC%20SCHEMA%20TREE.pdf
- PNG (preview): https://github.com/JBA69/lab-openbim/main/IFC%20SCHEMA%20TREE.png

It’s meant for learning/teaching, not a replacement for buildingSMART docs.

    Very insightful, really helps structure the though around the behemoth IFC format.
    Too bad the SVG isn't editable. Was this generated by some sort of flowchart drawing app?
    Caught a few typos, was gonna make a pull request to fix them, but the SVG contains just a large raster image, so no vector paths or selectable text.

    Thank you @duarteframos. yeah, it was generated using mindmeister (https://www.mindmeister.com/3839419205/ifc-schema) Lemme see how i can fix that.

    Well then don't bother. Because it was on Github I assumed the goal was to make it editable there, in that case it's probably best to fix it at the source anyway.
    I don't quite recall all the ones I caught, the one I still remember was a "teh" instead of "the" somewhere. Not sure if you can find&replace easily there.
    I'll go over it again later, then let you know what else I find and take note exactly where.

    Here is what I caught that may need fixing
    In the description of IfcPropertyTemplateDefinition there a double "to"

    If you don't want to actually to store the value

    IfcStructuralActivity is missing the last Y. It is either clipped by the graphics, or mistyped

    IfcStructuralActivit

    Under IfcContext description mistyped "the", it reads

    contain the rest of teh IFC

    Did you ever manage to extract a vector version of the flowchart? Being able to select or search for text would certainly help navigate the map
