Is it possible, using for example Python SDK, to import file (e.g. IFC file ) to stream and then to get this file in it’s native format (not the converted into Speckle format one)? I need to get the file and not the base object.
If I can use the Speckle as the storage for my IFC files, tracking the versions, but not converting them into “object model” – that would be a greate feature!
Thanks for great community support, btw!
Maybe I just should to make a special Kit that will not make any conversion?
Hi @Maks_T !
Our database and APIs can only handle Speckle compatible objects, which means objects that inherit from [Base](https://speckle.guide/dev/base.html), so you could create your own kit to do so, but it’s definitely a non-trivial task…
When uploading IFCs to Speckle we do create Base objects that correspond to IFC elements and have all their properties on them, hope that can work for you!
