10 months ago Hi Martin,
First of all, thank you for the message! Sorry for taking almost a year to respond, I hope you and the Xbim team are well too.
Let me start from the beginning 😊. I am Boyko Ivanov, owner of BISoft, we (I in The Netherlands and two colleagues in Sofia, Bulgaria) develop custom software for various customers, mainly in building and construction.
I used Xbim for a small proof-of-concept project for a customer that was put on hold for a while and now it is picking up again, so I will describe it briefly. The client has some legacy AutoCAD and RFEM modules that analyze and calculate in 2D balconies, in order to determine what thermal breaks to use – for example Isokorb ( https://www.schoeck.com/en/isokorb).
The client receives more and more often input data as IFC models (3D). My task is to build a module that recognizes the balconies in the model and “flattens” them to 2D, so that the legacy calculations can be used. The proof-of-concept was pretty successful, using various property-based queries to recognize the balconies and then Xbim geometry engine to make sections for going from 3D to 2D. The geometry engine works really well, my compliments!
Now the challenge is to bring the proof-of-concept to production and, as you probably expect, the main challenge is dealing with large variety of modelling approaches. Some people are really creative in modelling balconies!
I hope this is enough as first introduction. If you are interested in getting more info about this project, please let me know.
And again, thank you for the Xbim, it proved the enabler for this project that we have been trying to find for a while.
Best regards,
Boyko

Hi @boyko123 https://github.com/boyko123 ,
I hope you are well. I'm sending you this message because you’ve previously used one of our xbim Toolkit GitHub repositories https://github.com/xBimTeam . I hope you are still using it and it serves you well.
If you are interested in keeping up to date with the latest news and updates to Toolkit, you can subscribe to our Toolkit newsletter https://share.hsforms.com/1IQizWxh-SGCOQ0CQnikEJw3myli?github_profile=boyko123 . We tend to send it once a month or less.
As a member of the xbim developers community, you might be interested in the development roadmap https://github.com/orgs/xBimTeam/projects/2/views/1 as well. We're working on IFC 4.3 at the moment, which adds support for intrastructure like railways, highways, tunnels, bridges and ports. We should see these coming as IFC files soon.
As the Toolkit is open source, we know very little about how it is used. But we are always keen to find out. If you have an interesting use-case, and you don't mind sharing, we would be excited to learn more. Feel free to get in touch @.***?subject=Re:%20Xbim%20Toolkit%20Community%20%28boyko123%29> .
