Base

class compas_ifc.entities.base.Base(entity, file=None, extensions=None)

Bases: Data

Root class for all IFC entity wrappers.

Every entity in a loaded IFC file is wrapped in a Base (or a synthetic Extended<IfcClass> subclass that mixes in matched extensions). Direct attribute access is proxied to the underlying ifcopenshell.entity_instance through __getattr__(). Inverse attributes are exposed as zero-argument callables to mark the syntactic distinction from direct attributes.

Attributes:

entityentity_instance: The IFC entity instance.
fileIfcfile: The IFC file containing this instance of the class.
