ICEBridge update
I have just updated my experimental platform ICEBridge to further integrate IDA ICE with #bim , more specifically #blender and #BlenderBIM. As usual it can be found at https://github.com/maxtillberg/ICEBridge. The new features are:
- Custom names can be created for all objects. This is useful for accessing and identifying them later in IDA ICE.
- Removed clear temp folder button. This was too wild since it could delete files and directories without warning.
- Script for moving windows between building bodies and zones. This is useful since ICEBridge usually creates windows in building bodies.
- Script for creating big bounding box in IDA ICE. This is useful to avoid objects automatically being places in origo.
- Always group external objects and always create obj-files.
- Fill external walls with windows. Note that they cannot be named automatically. This is very useful if the external walls represent windows sizes.
- Script to delete zones with optionally given name. This is useful if temporary zones are used.
- Script to delete building bodies with optionally given names. This is useful if temporary building bodies are used or if you want to delete automatically created building bodies.
- New operations for making objects non selectable/selectable. This is useful to select objects inside buildings. The idea is that IFCWalls and Panels can be selected unselectable.
- Hide/show imported objects by scale with optionally given name. This is useful since IDA ICE does not support layers so all imported objects are shown/hidden. Please note that all shading objects must be shown to be included in the shading calculation.
- Single bounding box aligned with last selected objects. I think this might be very useful, but I have not tested it in any real projects yet.
