Extract properties from IFC building model entities in Blender, either by GlobalId or from selected objects, returning structured JSON data for analysis.
Instructions
Get properties of IFC entities. Can be used to get properties of a specific entity by GlobalId,
or to get properties of all currently selected objects in Blender.
Args:
global_id: GlobalId of a specific IFC entity (optional if selected_only is True)
selected_only: If True, return properties for all selected objects instead of a specific entity
Returns:
A JSON-formatted string with entity information and propertiesInput Schema

Implementation Reference
- tools.py:331-360 (handler)The main handler function for the MCP tool 'get_ifc_properties'. It validates input parameters, establishes a connection to the Blender addon via socket, forwards the command with parameters to Blender, and returns the JSON-formatted response or an error message.
