These quantities are typically simple key value metadata with data types. For example, a wall type may have a quantity called NetSideArea with a area value of "4.2". Quantities are grouped into quantity sets, so that related quantities are grouped together. Quantities are similar to, but different from properties in that they may store a method of measurement or formula. Quantities may also have parametric relationships to other calculated values, such as cost schedules, resource utilisation, or construction task durations. buildingSMART has come up with a long list of standardised quantities for the most common quantities required internationally. This solves the age-old question of "what's the standard way of storing quantity take-off data"? It is recommended to view the list of standardised buildingSMART quantities and see if any suit your needs first. If none are appropriate, then you are free to create your own custom quantities. This function adds a blank named quantity set. One you have a quantity set you may add quantities using ifcopenshell.api.pset.edit_qto. See also ifcopenshell.api.pset.add_qto if you want to arbitrary metadata, rather than quantification data. :param product: The IfcObject that you want to assign a quantity set to. :param name: The name of the quantity set. Quantity sets that are standardised by buildingSMART typically have a prefix of "Qto_", like "Qto_WallBaseQuantities". If you create your own, you must not use that prefix. It is recommended to use your own prefix tailored to your project, company, or local government requirement. :return: The newly created IfcElementQuantity Example: .. code:: python # Let's imagine we have a new wall. wall = ifcopenshell.api.root.create_entity(model, ifc_class="IfcWall") # Note that this only creates and assigns an empty quantity set. We # still need to add quantities into the property set. Having blank # quantity sets are invalid. qto = ifcopenshell.api.pset.add_qto(model, product=wall_type, name="Qto_WallBaseQuantities") # Add a side area property standardised by buildingSMART. This # allows quantity take-off to occur, even though no geometry has # even been modelled! ifcopenshell.api.pset.edit_qto(model, qto=qto, properties={"NetSideArea": 4.2}) """ usecase = Usecase() usecase.file = file usecase.settings = {"product": product, "name": name} return usecase.execute() class Usecase: file: ifcopenshell.file settings: dict[str, Any] def execute(self): product: ifcopenshell.entity_instance = self.settings["product"] name: str = self.settings["name"] if product.is_a("IfcObject") or product.is_a("IfcContext"): for rel in product.IsDefinedBy or []: if ( rel.is_a("IfcRelDefinesByProperties") and rel.RelatingPropertyDefinition.Name == self.settings["name"] ): return rel.RelatingPropertyDefinition qto = self.create_qto() self.file.create_entity( "IfcRelDefinesByProperties", **{ "GlobalId": ifcopenshell.guid.new(), "OwnerHistory": ifcopenshell.api.owner.create_owner_history(self.file), "RelatedObjects": [self.settings["product"]], "RelatingPropertyDefinition": qto, } ) return qto elif product.is_a("IfcTypeObject"): for definition in product.HasPropertySets or []: if definition.Name == name: return definition qto = self.create_qto() has_property_sets = list(product.HasPropertySets or []) has_property_sets.append(qto) product.HasPropertySets = has_property_sets return qto def create_qto(self): return self.file.create_entity( "IfcElementQuantity", GlobalId=ifcopenshell.guid.new(), OwnerHistory=ifcopenshell.api.owner.create_owner_history(self.file), Name=self.settings["name"], MethodOfMeasurement="BaseQuantities" if self.settings["name"].endswith("BaseQuantities") else None, )
