How to convert IFC file to OBJ File...? - ifc

I am trying to convert IFC file to OBJ and Reverse OBJ to IFC using C# .Net.
If any body has any idea. Help me to achieve this functionality.

For Ifc-to-Obj, you should take a look at the Xbim framework (xbimteam on github) as you will be able to generate triangulated polyhedron and then turn it into OBJ data.
In all cases, without a framework for parsing your Ifc file, you won't be able to go anywhere ...
It is going to be hard in opposite Obj-to-Ifc direction, as OBJ format does not contains building element informations you'll need to create an Ifc.

Might come a bit late, and I know that it doesn't directly answer the question regarding the programming language, but if you have the possibility to use JavaScript/NodeJS, you could use the ifc-convert package based also on IfcOpenShell. It worked fine for me. Hope it helps.

How do I generate .d.ts typings from Flow code?

I have enabled Flow on a JavaScript project I am developing. Since I am putting in the effort to providing type annotations, I would really like to generate *.d.ts files so the broader TypeScript community can also have type information.
How can I generate *.d.ts type definition files from Flow-annotated JavaScript?
I searched for the available tools. I found the following.
The first one is the most up to date one. It can convert the whole Flow code to TypeScript. I have used it personally, and it works like a charm.

Possible to search through all JSPs in Adobe CQ5 repository with CRXDE?

We have a couple of relatively simple websites running on Adobe CQ 5.5 that were developed by a third party. I'm pretty familiar with how CQ works, but I'm working with somebody else's code here and I need to be able to search through all components in the system for a particular string.
The issue is that I can't seem to find a way to search across all of the various .jsp files stored with the various system components. I would have figured that the query tool in CRXDE Lite would have done the trick with something like this:
/jcr:root//*[jcr:contains(., 'Find this exact string in a JSP')] order by #jcr:score
But I've had no luck.
What I am looking for is some sort of global search that includes JSP files. Is that possible? Were I using a regular Java system, any IDE worth the download would be able to do this.
Thanks.
Might not be easiest way, but you can use the VLT tool to checkout the repository into your filesystem. Then you can lookup using whatever tool you prefer. It might even be faster in the long run
I don't have the actual answer but I suppose the JSPs are indexed via a filter that strips out some of their content.
It should be possible to configure the repository to index them as is instead, based on the info at http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/IndexingConfiguration and http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-text-extractors.html
Sorry about the vagueness of this answer - I know the basic principles but to provide the details I would need more time than I can afford now ;-)

Defining new language based on C++

I would like to add a new language (called 'kiwi') into the Brackets code editor which is based on C++. It uses the exact same rules but has additional keywords.
I've already done the part of adding the additional keywords with separate syntax highlighting directly on the clike.js file but i don't really like directly modifying the def for C++
Can someone explain to me how I can achieve this? I don't really understand the difference between using def() and CodeMirror.defineMIME(). If this new language will take cpp/hpp input files, how will the editor switch from C++ -> kiwi?
Thanks in advance
Patching your local copy of the code, as you've done, might be perfectly fine for your needs. (And if you run from a Git copy of the source, it's easy to pull down updates without losing your local diffs).
If you want to do it a "cleaner" way, you can write a Brackets extension to define the new language - this way the change is easily shareable with others, and updating Brackets is even easier.
The way you'd do this roughly follows the Defining a new language docs:
Write an extension to package up your code that will define the new language (below)
The CM mode "clike" is already loaded, so you don't need to worry about that
Call CodeMirror.defineMIME() to set up a clike configuration with the right list of keywords - using a new mimetype name of your choosing. (Looking at the def() code in clike.js, I don't think the extra stuff it does is especially relevant for Brackets).
Call LanguageManager.defineLanguage() to tell Brackets about your new language mode (and what file extensions map to it, etc.). You should be able to mostly copy how the C++ mode is defined here - except with your new MIME name instead.
You should read CodeMirror documentation to find out about writing your modes.
But in short you can define your own type of clike language, by using CodeMirror.defineMIME().
You also asked what's the difference between def() and CodeMirror.defineMIME(). If you look at the code you can see that def() function is calling CodeMirror.defineMIME() at the end, so I believe it is just a more readable way of defining the type.
Also it seems that it's impossible to define more than one language on the same extension type (not 100% sure).

ASP.NET + MVC4 - "faking" a model? working without a datatable

I'm not an ASP.NET programmer, but, as it happens in life, I had to do some minor projects using it. Now came another one in which I have to implement some custom solutions and I haven't figured it out yet - I need some tip or maybe a piece of advice like "don't go that way" ;)
Previously it was simple - there was a table in DB, there was an adequate model and a view that worked with it - worked like charm. Now it's a little bit more complicated.
The "site" is going to contain, shortly and generally speaking, a survey - but a fully configurable one, unfortunately. In another product there's gonna be a configuration manager that will allow user to define pages, block types, questions, steps and so on and will generate an XML.
For the time being, in accordance with the specification, in the site's database I'm going to have only one table which will contain just a key and the XML generated by the configurator (and maybe some additional, not important information). Now - I need to parse this XML and build the site containing pages and other elements corresponding to it.
And that WOULD not be a problem, but I don't really know how to work that way using asp.net + mvc and can't find any piece of advice that would help me anyhow. Should I create an object that would somehow fake being a model and allow me to work for example on a dataset generated from XML? Or just create a model of the mentioned table and work with the XML directly on the view (I don't like even such an idea itself)? Or - having to do something like that - just give up on MVC and use only "clear" ASP.NET? Or maybe something else?
I'll be very grateful for any help.
And I hope I described what I need understandably ;)
If the XML documents have a schema defined then you can easily generate a class that matches the document using the xsd.exe tool. The document can then be deserialized into an instance of that class using existing functionality in the .Net framework. Just google .Net Xml serialization :-)
Now, if you don't have a schema you could create one if you are sure that you know the format of the Xml. Alternatively you could create a class that matches the format you expect to get and then parse the Xml manually. This last option is much more work, so I wouldn't recommend it.
In any case, the class you end up with should contain all the data you need from the Xml document and can then be used as the Model in your MVC page. As long as you can use the standard Xml deserialization technique then this should be quite easy and painless.

How do I create a Treemap and depict it through flex?

So basically what I'm trying to do is make something like this:
http://store.kapit.biz/demo/treemap/prod/index.html#
I've searched long and hard to find a site that would show me some pseudocode (at least) or an algorithm as to how to implement this type of application. But everything I find are only applications that take in data and do all the work for me to create the graph. I need to actually create it for myself, just a simple one for now. Does anyone know where I can find this? What I want it to do is take data from a database and use it to create the treemap, then express it in a GUI like in the link above. If any specifics are needed I can provide it. I'm trying to do this in Flash Builder using Flex and using ColdFusion as the backend. Thanks!
