I highjacked Blender, Bonsai, GeoNodes to Obim One Interoperability with a simple Sverchok script.
Added also a dxf viewer.
First tests on implementing instant 2D dxf drawings from 3D model where a success.
But this, on a future video.

thanks @Ionut_BimStudio for the video
any chance you are going to offer a bit more details about it?
Hello again sir!
a more detailed version of the second part. With some text comments for now.
Blender DotBim (or IFC, fbx, obj ...) to dxf floorplans with Sverchok noodles and Python code - Episode 01 - Trailer
The free and open-source way!
This is a raw, uncooked, un-data-drived-design-augmentated version of what I am daydreaming.
Using the same logic as in Rhino and Grasshopper:
cut the mesh;
extract the slice;
bake the geometry;
add a layer name (to better organize the future dxf elements);
export to dxf.
Just cut first, and clean later - version.
To do:
create the logic 2D representations for the special elements (doors, windows);
transfer the dot-bim properties from the original 3D object to the 2D drawing of itself;
configure object specific layers with line weight, colors, and hatches;
configure dimension-lines and auto-dimensions - object-specific;
have in mind the Open VCS way.
The plan is to make professional CAD drawings from Blender models.
I am starting a series of begginers tutorials on sverchok.
Because my old blog is dead obim.ro, And I am not reviveing it, I will move my articles on substack, where I will share extra documentations along with the youtube videos and github repos.
If anyone is interested, please subscribe.

Thank you!
First article for the sverchok lessons:
1. Installs;
2. Setups
3. The python code I use to install new python libraries into Blender;
4. A simple open-source dxf viewer that can be set up to have a live update for the dxf files.
This works like a CAD view for Sverchok.
I mostly use QCad pro now for this. When I'll set up a watchdog or another way to conect sverchok with qCAD, I will post also that way.
In this article I share the link to the FreeCad script that conects live Bonsai and IFC Sverchok with FreeCad.
It is a simple hack.
The ifc is watched by QtSignals in Freecad and reloads if it is changed in other softwares like:
Bonsai
Sverchok
Grasshopper
Dynamo sandbox
If anyone is interested.

The life is short - automate gingle! For motivation while coding. :D
Some progress here.
Generating entire building with wall coverings, Foundation, beams, columns, Windows and floors.
And some data analitics

The editor is a work in progress.
Blender model to dotbim and web viewer with data analytics
Extending the modeling and functions of Blender for AEC.
I am finaly back at this point - to create a Blender plugin and workflow that creates CAD drawings from 3D models.
Hope you like it
Will it come with Sheets that are native in Blender?
I could do it. But would work something like Rhino or how you can do sheets in AutoCad model space (not layout)
Export region to dxf or svg

Yes. I realise I did a bad job with this video.
I will make soon some short tutorial videos.
