BlenderBIM Add-on new release!

Owura_qu

Good morning and a wonderful update we have.
Now the challenge I have is that I have the wall tool activated but the option tools are not showing. I am using Blender 4.1 and with the blenderbim-240216-py311-win.zip version. Find the attached image below;

Hi! You're using old version from 16 February, this issue is fixed in the release available on https://blenderbim.org/.

awesome work from the developers

On windows official BBIM 240402 from Download of the homepage is with py11, but Blender 3.6.x is with Python 10 ... on activation the error attached pops. But on the homepage is written it works with Blender 3.6.
If blenderbim 240402 with py10 from https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/releases is used it works well ...

I am not even able to link just one ifc ...

• load a ifc
• go to Scene --> Project Overview --> Project Setup --> Links --> click on Link IFC --> open another ifc ...
• error in report view

• both ifc are in 2x3 if this matters ...

EDIT: The problem has been solved ... or better the problem is vanished and linking modells works great. Amazing feature :-)

My bad! Downloaded the wrong version. Thank you.

Cheers, we sorted out the issue with @bernd in a video call. It was probably a local environment issue.

Just in case anyone else meet this error installing BBIM from blenderbim.org, for Blender <= 4.0 you'll need to follow unstable installation as it's using different python version - https://blenderbim.org/docs/devs/installation.html#unstable-installation

I can read the LCA module is removed. Is this due to restrains and bugs for this feature?

Some news here. It was not the environment it was the file. By accident at the beginning I only used files which makes problems. The time beeing I have rare of them. See https://community.osarch.org/discussion/2067/problem-on-linking-file-depending-on-the-file for continue the disscussion ...

@Ole_Marius_Svendsen it was basically unmaintained and did barely anything useful.

Understood. Thanks for the feedback! Would we ever see a reentrance of analytical tools? I understand it need to be up to date for us to apply it. Never used the LCA module, though would hope it can be relevante on day for my line of work.

Moult

Yes, definitely. When there is a clearer definition of how it should be integrated, it can be reintroduced.
