In my experience more often than not it'll do that for you and run the code to give you the answer. E.g just now I ran: ~~~ What's the inverse of this matrix? [[0.0759688880587972, 0.3299493758880664, 0.14599823333009276, 0.098975

It does, when you save. Under export, there is also a "Plain SVG" option which excludes the xmlns:inkscape and xmlns:sodipodi namespaces and therefore eliminates quite a bit.

Let me try to explain it in a way that the acronym does make sense. For ages people have exchanged information about buildings in 2d and non-semantic line drawings with only an implicit symbolic meaning. In BIM, a building (or any construct

This is a difficult question and the the history to all of this predates my involvement. Indeed, a fair amount of people believe that the IFC is intentionally unnecessarily complex to limit interoperability and retain a monopoly. Over time,

It's also quite fun! There's a lot of computational geometry involved and you have a chance to positively affect the built environment around you. We're quite close now to delivering the final version of IFC4.3: the open stan

Consciousness is simply a very useful evolutionary trait (same as ability to fly or having sharp teeth) because it allows to better plan ahead and reflect and therefore survive - or by imprinting on us the fear of dying we can act to preven

Rendering is maybe not the only aspect of 3d engine. The robustness and ease of implementation of boolean operations or other kind of volumetric analysis has for me been one of the reasons to invest time in an open source procedural geometr

True. Came here to say that. QCAD is somewhat of an alternative to AutoCAD. OpenCASCADE is a foss alternative to e.g ACIS or Parasolid. It's potentially important as there aren't that many projects from the 80s in the list, so may

I agree. Also keep in mind people of all ages are allowed to ride bikes, which is luckily not the case for cars. This source does say elderly and children are more likely to be part of cycling accidents (not necessarily fatal) https:/

OCCT is both large and also takes a long time to compile. With conda-forge there is a good mechanism for CI/CD builds of this complexity. Other OpenCASCADE-based python modules (pythonOCC for ex) are also on conda for similar reasons,

Also check out BlenderBIM (I work on the umbrella organization it is part of) it has really comprehensive covering of IFC (using what they call native IFC authoring) including things as FM, hvac systems and 4D. It's fairly new so proba

I mean, it depends, CGAL for example, which I'd consider a high quality software library, uses exceptions for their exact number type to redo the calculation using more precision when needed https://www.cgal.org/FAQ.htm

There is also IfcOWL, the RDF (semantic web / linked data) representation of IFC. It'll allow you to use standard tooling (e.g. SPARQL and storage engines). https://technical.buildingsmart.org/standards/ifc&#x
