brunopostle/homemaker-addon: blender-homemaker-2023-12-16

This is a packaged Homemaker add-on with dependencies for Linux, Windows and Mac.

This is a maintenance release with some bugfixes.

New features:

• The main change in this release is that the stashed CellComplex that stores the sketch geometry and that can be used to regenerate the building or revert it to the sketch geometry has been reworked. Previously the CellComplex was represented as an aggregate of lots of IfcVirtualElement faces and points, an IfcVirtualElement is not allowed to have representations, and they were annoyingly visible in the loaded BlenderBIM model. The CellComplex is now stashed as Tessellated Reference/SKETCH_VIEW representations of the building itself, but not visible in BlenderBIM since a FootPrint/PLAN_VIEW representation gets priority. Cell usages are stashed as annotations, also attached to the building.

• IfcStructuralSurfaceMember representations now have a transparent surface style.

• IFC validation fixes: Set IfcPolygonalFaceSet.Closed, fix missing IfcAxis2Placement3D RefDirection, fix invalid IfcEdgeLoop.IsClosed, Building now has a placement.

• minor bug-fixes and clean-ups.

To test, select the default cube and choose 'Homemaker' in the 'Object' menu.

Note that if you already have a working Topologic-Sverchock installation, you can just download and install the smaller noarch package (this should work whether you have Linux, Windows or Mac).
