Developed and integrated dynamic angle snapping functionality for the IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell repository, replacing static 5-degree increments with Blender’s configurable snap settings across multiple modeling tools. Leveraging Python and the Blender API, the work introduced a helper function to retrieve snap increments directly from Blender’s user interface, ensuring both 2D and 3D contexts use the latest snap_angle_increment_3d property. The implementation involved refactoring core components such as polyline, wall, and profile modules to consume dynamic settings, aligning API compatibility with Blender 4.2+ and 5.0+. This approach improved modeling accuracy, user experience, and maintainability for geometry and tool development workflows.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Implemented dynamic angle snapping integration across IfcOpenShell modeling tools, replacing hardcoded 5-degree snapping with Blender's configurable angle snap. Added get_angle_snap_value() helper to fetch the increment from Blender's UI and updated affected components (tool/polyline.py, model/polyline.py, wall.py, profile.py) to use Blender 4.2+ snap_angle_increment_3d for both 2D/3D contexts. Ensured API compatibility up to Blender 5.0+ and fixed a naming discrepancy to prevent regressions. This work improves modeling accuracy, UX, and forward-compatibility with Blender releases.
