Why IfcBridgePart is not implemented in "FC4X3_RC4" Ifcopenshell version

[jeangual]

In the last version of IFC ( IFC 4.3.2.0 (IFC4X3_ADD2) ) IfcBridgePart inherit from IfcFaciltyPart but in IfcOpenshell it is not possible to define IfcBridgePart for this IFC version. Is it a know issue? When this entity will be define?

See buildingSMART/IFC4.3.x-development#90

The various facility parts were previously handled using a union of enumerations.

The latest version to use is IFC4X3_ADD2. Not Release Candidate 4.

I think IfcBridgePart is valid for IFC4.3Add2 https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4_3/HTML/lexical/IfcBridgePart.htm

@aothms: thank you very much but when i try:
ifc_file = ifcopenshell.file(schema='IFC4X3_ADD2') in the python code I have an error warning (with the latest version of openshell).
@RickBrice: Yes It is true but my problem is Ifcopenshell does not accept IfcBridgePart entity.

@jeangual : Update your version of IfcOpenShell, the last one from PyPI fixes the issue (v0.7.0-6c9e130ca).

Thanks everybody. I will try this new version of ifcopenshell.

@jeangual
I'm not much of a python developer but I see this which seems to indicate IfcBridgePart is in IfcOpenShell

In fact the pre-built packages version raises this error :

Which is possible according to the warnings in the description : https://blenderbim.org/docs-python/ifcopenshell-python/installation.html

Thanks every body. All is fine with the latest release of ifcopenshell (python version) : (v0.7.0-6c9e130ca)
