Extracting values from imported IFC
-
hello,
maybe someone has an answer:i can extract all informations from the ifc like area, volume etc. wirth the corresponding values.
now, the desription ov "value" can be any expression, depending on the software , which generated the ifc.
in german i have ifc-parameters using special character ("Fläche") vor "area", which i even cannot handle in ruby well. in other cases the key is not clearly defined, so i cannot analyse , if it is length/area/value.
is there any universal way to find out, if a parameter value "xxx" is a length, area or volume, without regarding the name of the attribute? is it coded somewhere in the inported ifc in sketchup?
so if i get key : 'abcdefg' value : '3,23456'
how can i define the unit automatically?
thanx for any idea...
stan
