Another Bonsai Notebook and IFC graph browser
Dear OSArch community,

AI wrote a little tool to help students exploring IFC models in graphical way and querying/manipulating them with a (very) poor man's excuse for a Jupyter Notebook. No further dependencies.
- bidirectional bonsai<->graph selection and exploration
- toggle relations, node-types
- explore graph
- script with global
ifcvariabls, watch varriable values, ifcopenshell, bpy acces in a notebook-style cell (Python console in Blender is quite challenging for Bachelor students, this hopefully lowers the bar a bit) - query based on selector syntax, save to csv, limits, field seleciton
I had posted a very hacky solution some while ago as a follow-up to my IfcOpenShell notebooks here https://community.osarch.org/discussion/2921/graph-viewer-of-ifc-structure-in-bonsai-interested-features
Dion suggested bringing it into the WebUI, and this is a first step. The UX has many very rough edges, but once this goes through some more iterations based on potential feedback, I would attempt at bringing it into a Bonsai WebUI if you think this has value.
Thanks for any feedback
Enjoy (?)

Feedback: Maybe post a higher resolution Youtube video? That gif is a bit early 2000's.
