There are four types of style: - Surface styles, which give 3D objects (which have surfaces / faces) their colours and textures. This is the most common type of style. - Curve styles, which give 2D and 3D curves, lines, polylines, their stroke thickness and colour. - Fill area styles, which gives 2D polygons and flat 3D planes their colours, hatch patterns, tiled patterns, and pattern scales. - Text styles, which gives text their font family, weight, variant, size, indentation, alignment, decoration, spacing, and transformation. Once you have created a presentation style object, you can further define the properties of your style using other API functions by adding presentation items, such as ifcopenshell.api.style.add_surface_style. :param name: The name of the style. Used to easily identify it using a style library. :param ifc_class: Choose from IfcSurfaceStyle, IfcCurveStyle, IfcFillAreaStyle, or IfcTextStyle. :return: The newly created style element, based on the provided ifc_class. Example: .. code:: python # Create a new surface style style = ifcopenshell.api.style.add_style(model) """ kwargs = {"Name": name} if ifc_class == "IfcSurfaceStyle": # Name is filled out because Revit treats this incorrectly as the material name kwargs["Side"] = "BOTH" return file.create_entity(ifc_class, **kwargs)
