JSON	description
"name": "load_ifc", "save": "out/AC20-FZK-Haus.json", "ifc_file": "buildings/AC20-FZK-Haus.ifc"	loads an ifc_file and create its JSON-representation in the save location
"name": "mesh_remove", "mesh_name": "Cube"	Blender helper-function to remove the mesh with mesh_name. Useful to remove the starting cube
"name": "import", "ifc_file": "buildings/AC20-FZK-Haus.ifc"	Imports an IFC-file into blender using IfcOpenShell
"name": "load", "filepath": "buildings/AC20-FZK-Haus.blend"	load a .blend file that has been imported using IfcOpenShell (useful when the import takes long and you like to import manually on another machine)
"name": "show", "ifc_type": "space"	sets all objects with the given IFC-type to visible (in this case all IfcSpaces)
"name": "remove_site"	removes the mesh for the IfcSite
"name": "blacklist", "ifc_type": "IfcBuildingElementProxy", "regex": "ABZUGSK.*"	removes all objects of type ifc_type ("IfcBuildingElementProxy") with the name matching the regex (everything starting with "ABZUGSK")
"name": "remove_hidden"	removes all invisible/disabled elements (you might to use this after "show")
"name": "replace", "copy_dimensions": false, ,"regex": "Chair.*", "blend_file": "lowpoly/simple_chair, "ifc_type": "IfcFurnishingElement", "object_name": "chair"	replaces every object with the type ifc_type that matches the given regex (starts with Chair) with the object object_name (chair) from the Blender file blend_file. Useful to replace elements from the IFC file with other elements that have a lower or higher level of detail. Either to enhance for VR-Environments or to lower the poly count on mobile devices
"name": "create_group", "ifc_type": "storey"	creates a new group based on the ifc_type. Useful to create groups that can be exported later on in single .blend files and exported as single FBX/OBJ
"name": "add_group", "ifc_type_group": "storey", "ifc_children":"spaces"	add aditional objects to a group that has been created with add_group. In this example all spaces of a storey will also be added to their storey-group
"name": "group_children_by_regex", "ifc_target_groups": "storey", "target_regex": ".* (?P-?[0-9]\d*)", "source_regex": ".\.(?P-?[0-9]\d)\..*",	add all elements of the group that matches the source_regex to the ifc_target_group type matching the target_regex regex
"name": "group_unlink", "regex": "^GROUP."	removes all objects from a group where the name mathes the regex
"name": "mesh_reposition", "regex": "^GROUP."	recalculate the vertice center position of all objects matching the group name. Useful in combination with group_by_elevation
"name": "group_by_elevation"	add all elements to the group for their story. (reads story-height from IFC)
"name": "mesh_split", "regex": "^LOGO." "split_z": 1.2	cuts the object in two objects, after given split_z value (in meters)
"name": "export", "filepath": "out/House" "filetype": ["obj", "fbx"]	export the building (in this case as fbx which works quite well in Unity3D and obj which is great for WebGL/THREE.js)
"name": "save", "filepath": "out/House"	save as .blend file
"name": "group_split", "ifc_type": "storey", "outpath": "out", "blend_file": "out/House", "export": ["obj", "fbx"]	loads the given blend-file for every entry in the "ifc_type" (e.g. each storey) delete everything else and export it. Useful to get single files for each storey. WARNING because this needs to load the .blend-file make sure you save the building with save and do this as the last step!
