Hi,
Does the current IfcConvert code use multi-threading? I am wondering how one can make the conversion process faster.
Best,
Issa

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. Travelling currently. Currently it does not. There is somebody working on multi-threading: https://github.com/sanderboer/IfcOpenShell/commits/multithreading

The speed of IfcConvert varies quite a bit based on settings and the types of geometry encountered in the file. Also from version to version there can be quite profound differences, sometimes improvements due to optimizations, sometimes slower speed due to additional integrity checks or features.

If you mention the version and type of file we can discuss things more specifically.

Kind regards,
Thomas
