            Bug ID: 243007
           Summary: new port request - IfcOpenShell (for IFC and BIM
                    modeling) as an optional dependency for FreeCAD

Description:
IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library that helps users and
software developers to work with the IFC file format. The IFC file format c=
an
be used to describe building and construction data. The format is commonly =
used
for Building Information Modelling.

IfcOpenShell uses Open CASCADE (the Open CASCADE Community Edition) interna=
lly
to convert the implicit geometry in IFC files into explicit geometry that a=
ny
software CAD or modelling package can understand.

Please note that IfcOpenShell is a work in progress. At the moment only fil=
es
with the .ifc extension are supported (technically known as IFC-SPF). Suppo=
rt
for IFC-XML and IFC-ZIP will be added in the future. Please note that at th=
is
moment IfcOpenShell may not fully understand all geometry that is present i=
n an
.ifc file, rest assured that it=E2=80=99ll do the very best it can and supp=
ort for the
other types of geometry is already on its way.

Currently on the menu is an importer for Autodesk 3ds Max, an importer for
Blender and a stand-alone application to convert an IFC file into a Wavefro=
nt
.obj file. Furthermore, software developers are explicitly encouraged to use
the IfcOpenShell library in their own applications.
