For instance, the function that identifies all the added/modifed/deleted entities between two git versions of a Native IFC model is 25 lines of code and runs in milliseconds, this functionality would be a lot more complex and maybe even not fully resolvable if it had to work with GUIDs only. BlenderBIM preserves step IDs for other good reasons, and this add-on is exploring the potential of this new Native IFC world where we don't have to deal with IFCs as data dumps from proprietary databases. This short screencast shows all these IFC Git features in Using GUIDs instead of step IDs ought to work, but it would need a lot of heuristics and assumptions to track down and compare non-rooted entities (which don't have GUIDs). IFC Git even has an experimental tool to merge branches using an IFC specific three-way merge for conflict resolution. Any revision can be forked, creating a branch for developing options or playing with designs. These revisions are browsable and retrievable, changes between two revisions can be visualised in 3D. Instead of just saving a file, with IFC Git you can create revisions with descriptions. IFC Git is a new add-on that lets you manage your BIM data in a local Git repository without leaving BlenderBIM. Source-code management not BIM workflows. Native IFC and Git are a perfect fit, the combination already works well, but existing GUI tools are designed for Git is robust and secure, it can store large amounts of data, tagging and retrieving versions in an instant, branching and sharing data is reliable, every revision has a unique cryptographic hash allowing full verification and traceability. Git is universal in the IT industry for distributed version control. This has lots of advantages, among them are that it is easy to compare two versions of the same model and tell exactly what has changed between them, it also allows for very efficient storage and transmission of just the changes between versions. Native IFC applications keep data in place, only regenerating parts of the model that have been changed by the author. IFC is the open standard for BIM models, and Native IFC is a technique for working with IFC directly as first class data rather than as an exported dump of a proprietary database. As everyone knows by now, BlenderBIM is a Free and Open Source tool for working with Native IFC files.
