Get IFC file header

Hi,

In each IFC file you have a kinf of technical header according to STEP format (ISO-10303-21).

In this header you can get several information about the software / user / system that has generated the IFC file.

This can helps us validating the schema or properties to read 'cos most of the time it depends of the originating software.

Example :

Then behind the DATA section you get the IFC data already used by Eyeshot component.

What about those information contained in the header ? Is there a way to reach them ?

If not, would be very interesting to get those ones in the ReadIFC entity.

Thanks

    From the build 2024.1.234, it is possible to retrieve this data using the Xbim.Essentials package referenced by Eyeshot. You can then pass Xbim's IfcStore to the ReadIFC constructor to avoid parsing the file twice.
