Custom Classifications (IfcClassification and IfcClassificationReference) #58

Open daviddelven opened 9 months ago

daviddelven commented 9 months ago

Is there some plan to include, at least manually, some other Classification Systems (i.e. Uniclass, Gubimclass, ETIM, etc...)?

It is possible to add more Sketchup classification systems, but setting it up is not very intuitive at the moment. First create an SKC: https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/creating-skc-file Try to keep the structure similar to the default classification systems: https://github.com/BIM-Tools/SketchUp-IFC-Manager/tree/main/Sketchup%20classifications Add the SKC file to the classifications folder: "%AppData%\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2024\SketchUp\Classifications" Add the new SKC file name to the settings file (it's not part of the UI yet): https://github.com/BIM-Tools/SketchUp-IFC-Manager/blob/main/src/bt_ifcmanager/settings.yml

I have been working a lot on classification tooling for the buildingSMART Data Dictionary where many classification systems are available, including ETIM. The last few months we have been working on a Revit plugin: https://github.com/buildingsmart-community/bSDD-Revit-plugin There is also a Sketchup plugin, but it needs to catch up, it's a bit outdated at this time: https://github.com/DigiBase-VolkerWessels/SketchUp-bsDD-plugin
