Better IFC Export Directly from Application Layer

Gemini now supports better export of data in the application layer directly to IFC. All objects are exported with geometry and IFC metadata, including assigned entities, types and property sets.

The project generates one IfcProject and one IfcSite, and all elements are currently placed in a flat structure under IfcSite.

This makes it easier, among other things, to deliver as-built data in IFC format.

See a more detailed description in the general user documentation under IFC export.

Validation of Duplicate GUIDs in Application Layer

Validation of objects now also checks for duplicate GUIDs in the application layer. This makes it possible to detect and clean up objects that can cause errors in data, export or calculations. IFC export also warns if duplicates are found.

Extract Centerline from 3D Objects

The function for extracting centroid line from 3D objects has been extended with support for extracting centerline. This is particularly useful for objects such as water and waste pipes, where the centerline often provides a more relevant geometric result than the centroid line.

The solution also handles objects with bends, so that the line extraction becomes more applicable to multiple types of 3D models.
