Need help betting BBim running with 4.1 and IfcOpenShell 0.8

[RickBrice]

I'm not really understanding the instructions in https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/4565.

I installed Blender 4.1, then installed the blenderbim-240402-py311-win.zip per the standard instructions https://docs.blenderbim.org/users/installation.html.

Then I used the script for Live development environment. It runs without errors.

I fire up Blender, go to Edit > Preferences select Add-ons and scroll down the list to System: BlenderBIM and check the box.

Here is the error I get.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 4.1\4.1\scripts\modules\addon_utils.py", line 444, in enable mod.register() File "C:\Users\bricer\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.1\scripts\addons\blenderbim__init__.py", line 44, in register blenderbim.bim.register() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: module 'blenderbim' has no attribute 'bim'

Other information that might be important:

• I have built IfcOpenShell, v0.8.0, from source
• I have Python v 3.12 installed.

Any ideas? Thanks

Could it be related to this? https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/4635

The bat has recently changed.

I think the root cause problem was I had IfcOpenShell compiled for Python 3.12. I re-build it for Python 3.11 and it seems to work.

I tried opening the model from https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/4565#issuecomment-2068065492 and it crashed Blender. I used a very simplistic model I created and... wow... like magic, it worked
