ifc-properties 0.3.0

Property sets, quantities, and unit resolution. No geometry.
Documentation

ifc-properties -- Property sets, quantities and units -- the non-geometric payload most

consumers actually want.

references/ifc-spec/ ships the official property set definitions as XML: 317 for IFC2x3 and 420 for IFC4. That is a machine-readable catalogue, so standard Psets are data here rather than hand-written tables.

Module map

Module Role
pset IfcPropertySet and single/enumerated/list/table properties
quantity IfcElementQuantity: length, area, volume, weight, count
template IfcPropertySetTemplate and property templates
standard The official Pset catalogue from the shipped XML definitions
unit Unit assignment, prefixes and conversion-based units
value IfcValue measure types and their interpretation
query Lookup helpers: property by name, pset by element
error Why a property lookup failed

Status

Partial. value, pset, quantity, unit, template and query are implemented. PROP-EDIT -- transactional authoring of quantities -- is blocked on ifc-model's MODEL-MUT, and standard (the shipped Pset catalogue) is not yet read. See ../PLAN.md.

What this crate will not do

It never computes a shape measurement. An IfcQuantityArea is what the authoring tool asserted, and it may disagree with the geometry. Callers that want a check compute the value with a geometry service and pass it to [compare], which reports agreement rather than inventing it.
