Method write

src/ifcopenshell-python/ifcopenshell/file.py:1004–1041

Write ifc model to file. :param format: Force use of a specific format. Guessed from file name if None. Supported formats : .ifc, .ifcZIP (equivalent to format=".ifc" with zipped=True) :param zipped: zip the file after it is written Example:

(self, path: os.PathLike | str, format: Optional[str] = None, zipped: bool = False)

                    pass  # Header is invalid

    def write(self, path: os.PathLike | str, format: Optional[str] = None, zipped: bool = False) -> None:
