v2

More Tools, mainly for cleaning IFC Files.

New Feature: Clean and Reduce IFC

• per Default only removes non-relevant vertex data (all models should look exectely the same!)
• Option: Decimate. Per Default at "1.0", so preserves all mesh detail. Lower values reduce the mesh complexity. [Currently experimental, as the results are still meh. Default of 1 should be good for most cases]

Results:

• (Massiv) Reduction of vertices - tested between 25-60%
• Sometimes smaller IFC File-Sizes, but not always. Might sometimes even increase file size, model should still be way easier to use.

Further Improvements / Tipps:
Upgrade to IFC4 using Blenders tooling. This will further improve IFC File size and therefore loading / saving etc.
Might also be added in a future version of this system!
