Translations:Import/Export IFC - compiling IfcOpenShell/7/en

3. Once it finishes (I don't remember now but it will be printed something like "Built IfcOpenShell..." and it will return to your prompt) you will have a new folder /IfcOpenShell/build/ full of files and folders. From my personal experience, two weeks ago the nix "build-all.sh" script didn't finished successfully but after trying it yesterday with the newest updates it worked fine so I guess you might experience something similar in case the development goes further... So now you have everything you need but you have to do some manual work in order to get it working: 4. Open FreeCAD and open the Python console and Report view. Then write into the Python console the following:

You will get a looong line with all the paths that FreeCAD reads. You may be able to install ifcopenshell in any of them but I suggest you to place it inside one where you find a /site-packages/ after a /Python/ or /python-something/. In my case it was /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages. (you will find paths inside your app directory but I suggest you to not use them because then IfcOpenShell will only be available for this app)
