IfcOpenShell is an open source ([LGPL]) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes ([IFC]). Complete
parsing support is provided for [IFC2x3 TC1], [IFC4 Add2 TC1], IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and [IFC4x3 Add2]. Extensive geometric support
is implemented for the IFC releases [IFC2x3 TC1] and [IFC4 Add2 TC1]. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas
is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.

In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application
to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform),
and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
