v0.4.0

Revit 2023 projects now export typed elements, as 2024 and 2025 projects
do: storeys, types, layers, materials, GlobalIds, wall joins and beam cuts,
measured against Revit's own exports of two 2023 projects. On every
supported release, rooms take their real outline and Revit's number and
name, doors and windows cut the opening their type specifies, turned
family instances are drawn turned, steel members carry their I section,
and every typed element is related to an IFC type object of its Revit
type. Every figure is measured against Revit's own export of the same
model; the reports under reports/element-framing/ hold the inputs.

Upgrading from 0.3

• IfcSpace.Name is the room number (RE-117). It was
  Room-<ElementId>. The room name stays in LongName, and the ElementId,
  which an IfcSpace has no Tag for, is the new ElementId property.
  Anything that read a room's ElementId from its IFC Name reads that
  property instead. A room without a number keeps the Room-<ElementId>
  Name; one without a name now has no LongName (it repeated the Name).
  glTF node names, the viewer and the room schedule are unchanged.
• Only building-story Levels are storeys (RE-118). A Level whose
  Building Story setting is off is no longer written as an
  IfcBuildingStorey, as in Revit's export. Of the models measured, only
  Snowdon Towers' structural model changes: its Top of Footing and TOS
  Levels are not storeys, and its 12 building stories now are.
• System family names follow the file's saved locale (RE-123). On a
  file saved as PTB, walls, floors and roofs are Parede básica, Piso
  and Telhado básico in Name, ObjectType and material layer set
  names, where 0.3 wrote Basic Wall, Floor and Basic Roof. Files
  saved in other locales are unchanged.
• ElemRecord::owner_id values change (#152). Each record now reports
  its own owner; 0.3 reported the next record's. This reaches
  rvt-elem-table --json and Python's elem_table_records(). The IFC
  export does not use it.
• Rust API: public structs gained fields, among them
  ifc::IfcModel::element_type_ids and
  partition_level_records::PartitionLevel::building_story. Code that
  builds them with struct literals needs the new fields or
  ..Default::default() where the type has one.
• Element bodies and IFC entity counts change wherever geometry is
  newly decoded (openings, turned instances, rooms, sketched outlines,
  steel sections) and where type objects are added. GlobalIds of existing
  elements, rooms and storeys are unchanged.

Install

• Rust CLIs: cargo install rvt --locked; library: cargo add rvt (docs.rs)
• Python: pip install rvt (abi3 wheels for CPython 3.8+ on Linux x86_64/aarch64 glibc and musl, macOS Apple Silicon and Intel, Windows x86_64, plus the sdist)
• Prebuilt CLIs: the archives below, checked against SHA256SUMS and GitHub build attestations (gh attestation verify <archive> --repo DrunkOnJava/rvt-rs)
• Container: docker run --rm ghcr.io/drunkonjava/rvt-rs:0.4.0 rvt-info --help (linux/amd64, linux/arm64)
• Browser: https://drunkonjava.github.io/rvt-rs/ runs 0.4.0 in the tab; nothing is uploaded.

The full list of additions, changes and fixes, each with its measurement, is under [0.4.0] in CHANGELOG.md.

Verified from the published artifacts

• crates.io: cargo install rvt --version 0.4.0 --locked builds; rvt-ifc converts the Revit 2023 project modelo_bim (8 beams).
• PyPI: pip install rvt==0.4.0 in a clean venv; write_ifc() on RE1 Architecture writes its 7 walls and 11 spaces.
• GitHub archive (macOS arm64): checksum and attestation verified; on Core Interior, 992 elements, all with bodies, and 116 spaces with Revit's number and name; on Exemplo_data (2023), 56 elements and 9 of 9 rooms as Revit's.
• Container image: pulls on linux/arm64 and reads a 2025 model.
• The publish workflow's own checks: install and open a model on all seven wheel platforms, CLI smoke, viewer load.
