DETERMINISTIC: networks come from geometry, not from a guess. The same model always gives the same networks, from any AI, on any day. Read the networks of an IFC model already uploaded by the user. WHAT A NETWORK IS. A set of parts that touch each other, cut at equipment: a pump, an air handling unit, a chiller separates two systems, so the tool does not run through them. This is measured on the geometry — you cannot and need not check it. WHAT YOU GET, PER NETWORK state 'homogeneous' — a system exists, some parts were mis-named by the modeller; the tool will correct them. 'undetermined' — no system can be read. THIS is where you are useful. 'assigned' — the user or you already named it. system the dominant name, when there is one part_dominante the share of named parts carrying it equipements_voisins the NAMES of the machines this network is connected to. An undetermined network starting from 'AHU-Supply-L2' names itself — but only you can see it. systemes_existants every system name already in the model WHAT TO DO NEXT. Propose a name for each undetermined network, using the neighbouring equipment, the existing system names, and anything the user told you about the project's naming scheme. Ask the user for their list of planned systems if you do not have it. Then call name_ifc_networks. WHAT NOT TO DO. Do not rename a network the report calls 'homogeneous' unless its name plainly contradicts the equipment it is connected to — and then say why. Do not invent a network: you cannot see the geometry, and the tool already did that work. CALL THIS AGAIN WHENEVER THE STATE MAY HAVE MOVED. The token stays valid for 48 hours and is a key, not a snapshot: every call recomputes and returns the model AS IT IS NOW. The user works in the browser between your messages — renaming networks, assigning parts by hand, accepting or refusing corrections. So the moment they say they have done something, or you are about to state a figure, call this tool again. NEVER ANSWER FROM MEMORY about networks, counts or states. What you read earlier is already out of date the moment the user touches the 3D view, and a stale figure stated confidently is worse than no figure at all.
