add_partof_facet

Adds a partOf facet to buildingSMART IDS specifications to define containment relationships between building elements, ensuring compliance with IDS 1.0 standards.

Instructions

Add a partOf facet to a specification.

Args: spec_id: Specification identifier location: "applicability" or "requirements" relation: Relationship type (e.g., "IFCRELCONTAINEDINSPATIALSTRUCTURE") parent_entity: Parent entity name (e.g., "IFCSPACE") ctx: FastMCP Context (auto-injected) parent_predefined_type: Optional predefined type for parent cardinality: "required", "optional", or "prohibited"

Returns: {"status": "added", "facet_type": "partof", "spec_id": "S1"}

Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the core logic for adding a 'partOf' facet to an IDS specification. It retrieves the session and specification, creates a PartOf facet using the ifctester IDS library, appends it to the appropriate section (applicability or requirements), and returns success status.

        spec_id: str,

        ctx: Context,
        parent_predefined_type: Optional[str] = None,
        cardinality: str = "required"

  • Registers the 'add_partof_facet' handler as an MCP tool with the FastMCP server instance.
    mcp_server.tool(facets.add_partof_facet)
  • Imports the 'facets' module containing the 'add_partof_facet' implementation.
    from ids_mcp_server.tools import document, specification, facets, validation, restrictions
