My desktop flooded with .brep files

[Shaddy-ElDesouky]

Hello @Moult first I have to thank you very much for you're great effort, this is a Game changer, can't wait until I actually have a complete product out of it.

I was struggling to find tutorials for BlenderBim until I found your channel https://peertube.social/accounts/moult/
I watched most of the demo videos and I was interested specifically in section planes and creating Drawings, I don't remember trying something else(not sure) and then I found the flood of 3660 .brep files, the bright side is that I discovered that my desktop can actually carry them all and a side scroller appeared at the right :) . I panicked for a moment until I remembered that I'm not on Windows :)
OS: Kubuntu 20.04.1
Blender: 2.90.1
BlenderBim: 0.0.201025

I used this ifc file to try section planes

There are some resources here that may help: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=BlenderBIM_Add-on - it's not particularly organised, but it's a start.

The BlenderBIM Add-on does not have any code that generates files with the extension .brep that I know of, and when it does generate files, it stores it in the add-on's data folder. So I can't really explain what you're seeing. Maybe you were experimenting with another software at the same time? What is the content of these files?

That would have been me, sorry... See commit

Ruh-roh! @aothms should I republish the latest version with a particular bot build to prevent users running into this issue?

[aothms]

It seems IfcOpenBot is stuck again. I'll give her a gentle nudge this afternoon.

[Moult]

Bot bump :)

There was a power outage causing the build machine to stop. I think she's almost ready now though

[Moult]

Bump :)

[aothms]

ah crap, reboot tonight

[aothms]

She's getting weird errors on windows. Maybe some file handle leaking. I disabled a bunch of python versions and tried again. Sent from a mobile device. Excuse my brevity. Kind regards, Thomas Op vr 4 dec. 2020 01:27 schreef Dion Moult <notifications@github.com>:

Still no luck

The incompetence is staggering. I'll check again tonight.

It's using completely new build system so we need to double check

[Moult]

Closing as fixed! Awesome stuff! Thanks so much!
