In this article, we will explore how to use IfcBuilder methods in Eyeshot to create walls and roofs for a simple building design. We begin by generating two main Blocks: one for the North–South walls and one for the East–West walls. Each block contains the geometry and the openings belonging to its…

The following algorithm calculates the length of a pipe based on its control points. It automatically identifies whether each face of the pipe represents a cylindrical or tabulated surface and then measures the distance that the surface’s control points extend along its main axis. The resulting val…

Note: the code in this article uses the Eyeshot 2027 API. In Eyeshot 2026 and earlier, add the mates with the Block methods instead: for example design1.RootBlock.AddConcentricMate(...) in place of design1.RootBlock.Mates.AddConcentric(...), with the same arguments.In this article, we will use Asse…
