BIMxBEM installation

Hi,
how can I install the tool hosted on https://github.com/ENAC-CNPA/BIMxBEM?
I have a running freecad-daily on my Linux, containing an ifcopenshell to open ifc files. Can I get an additional workbench or how does it work?
Thank you

  • Hello,
    I initially wanted to make a workbench of it but I dropped it on the way. It is currently meant to be used as a library (currently used in Lesosai for example).
    A good example of how to use it standalone is manual_test.py script. It launch FreeCAD and display generated boundaries including geometry and data.

  • Thank you for your quick reply. I will test it.
    Is it correct, that your implementation targets SIA? As I have no access to those standards, could you explain the transformation?
    Are 2a SB directly used as internal SIA boundaries (keeping the gaps)?
    Are external SIA boundaries centerline boundaries with closed gaps?

    Yes.

    Have you watched my presentation at osarch meetup?

    Are 2a SB directly used as internal SIA boundaries (keeping the gaps)?

    No because it require part of 2b which are not exported by most bim authoring tool and some popular ones (Revit) export boundaries at middle of the wall instead of internal face.

    Are external SIA boundaries centerline boundaries with closed gaps?

    No. External face for external walls. Middle of the wall for internal walls.
