IfcAdvancedBrep official examples #151

Hi Fabian,

Just tried to view these exapmles lastest viewer:

https://github.com/buildingSMART/IfcDoc/tree/master/IfcKit/examples/advanced-geometric-shape

Both advanced brep ones are not displayed in latest IfcPlusPlus viewer. Is there no representation generated for them? AFAIKT the entity is read by IfcPlusPlus.

Hi Bernd, all entities from the STEP file are read and instantiated. But converting the "advanced brep" representations to Carve and then OSG, is not implemented yet. Contributions are welcome :)

berndhahnebach commented 5 years ago

It is what I expected. I don't think this will happen from my side soon. I do not know much about either Carve nor OSG.

BTW: If I would ever contribute more than a few fixes I would make a property widget for the viewer. For this I would have the knowledge but there is the second resource all opensource developer have to less ... time ...
