CALL THIS FIRST, as soon as the user gives you a token. It answers within seconds, while the network graph is still being built - use that time to think. WHAT YOU GET. Not 3 000 parts: the 20 to 50 distinct TYPES of the model (duct types, fittings, dampers, terminals, equipment, proxies), each with its IFC class, predefined type, type name, one example part with ALL its properties, and a catalogue of every property present. WHAT TO DO WITH IT. Write RULES, not verdicts. For roles: which words, in which field, identify a fire damper, a silencer, a balancing damper, an air terminal, an air handling unit, a fan, a pump - and which groups are NOT network at all (access zones, plinths, placeholders, damper motors). For sizes: which 'PropertySet.Property' holds height, width, diameter, length. A rule applies to every part, including those you were not shown, and to the user's next models. TRAPS the field 'a_savoir' warns about: values are in the FILE's unit (see metres_par_unite), not millimetres; insulation sizes and hydraulic diameters look like dimensions and are not. The field 'etat_du_graphe' says whether the networks are ready yet: 'pret' means read_ifc_networks will answer now.
