I'm trying to manipulate an ifc2x3 file with xBim. It's based on the example: https://docs.xbim.net/examples/basic-model-operations.html
But when it comes to var pSetRel = model.Instances.New<IfcRelDefinesByProperties>
,
it crashes with System.Exception: "This factory only creates types from its assembly"
Here is the code:
string fileName = modelsPath + "Duplex_A_20110907.ifc";
using (var model = IfcStore.Open(fileName))
{
//get existing wall from the model
var id = "2O2Fr$t4X7Zf8NOew3FNld";
var wall = model.Instances.FirstOrDefault<IfcWall>(d => d.GlobalId == id);
//open transaction for changes
using (var txn = model.BeginTransaction("Walls modification"))
{
//create new property set with two properties
var pSetRel = model.Instances.New<IfcRelDefinesByProperties>(r =>
{
r.GlobalId = Guid.NewGuid();
r.RelatingPropertyDefinition = model.Instances.New<IfcPropertySet>(pSet =>
{
pSet.Name = "New property set";
//all collections are always initialized
pSet.HasProperties.Add(model.Instances.New<IfcPropertySingleValue>(p =>
{
p.Name = "First property";
p.NominalValue = new IfcLabel("First value");
}));
pSet.HasProperties.Add(model.Instances.New<IfcPropertySingleValue>(p =>
{
p.Name = "Second property";
p.NominalValue = new IfcLengthMeasure(156.5);
}));
});
});
//change the name of the door
wall.Name += "_checked";
//add properties to the door
pSetRel.RelatedObjects.Add(wall);
//commit changes
txn.Commit();
}
model.SaveAs(modelsPath + "/Duplex_A_20110907_modified.ifc");
}
what I'm doing wrong?
You haven't included the using
statements, but I would guess that you're referencing the Ifc4 version of IfcRelDefinesByProperties
rather than the Ifc2x3 equivalent.
You can't mix & match the schema entities.
