FreeCAD Tech Draw workbench currently (as of FreeCAD 1.0) does not provide many symbols, which are typical in the AEC world. This video shows how to create a custom elevation height symbol for use in

There were many discussions on how to handle this. My favourite idea is to create a generic independent parametric library, which takes object parameters as input and spits out non-parametric objects

I lately had to export step files a few times and had to use other software (Freecad for example) or reimport the step files in Vectorworks, in order to check the export quality.

For example, for the same door with a different height each time: should we model it on Freecad using its sketcher and import each variation we want to use into the IFC library?

explanation: we requested the credentials to create a short article to osarch front page about the FreeCAD 1.0 release.

I think is a less ambitious model than Ondsel. It does not involve services. It is only a different flavor of FreeCAD. I would say this initiative and the Ondsel are the first examples of an early st

have you check the FreeCAD Add-ons for Road engineering? https://github.com/HakanSeven12/Road maybe you can get insight there

calculix is use by the freecad solver I think: https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX

This tutorial provides a basic overview of creating a very simple site plan drawing from a 3D model in FreeCAD using the Tech Draw workbench tools.

Any options to import the texture of the mesh in FreeCAD? On the other hand, IFCexport or NativeIFC/Strict Mode ifc + Blender/Bonsai import is of good quality? Thanks :)

Here, my design in a IFC file in FreeCAD...

to the modeling paradigm in software like FreeCAD (and Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, etc). It's now more significant than ever to choose an appropriate modeling paradigm per object. It's also incredibly ed

This video provides a theoretical overview of the two main available workflows for FreeCAD BIM users to create 2D construction documents from their 3D model.

@yorik help please

I understand in general all FreeCAD BIM/Arch Objects are extremely flexible and users can use ('encapsulate') any object with Shape created by any workbench in FreeCAD to be its Base. For your case,

This discussion was created from comments split from: [FreeCAD BIM] development news by Yorik.

In this article I share the link to the FreeCad script that conects live Bonsai and IFC Sverchok with FreeCad.

About the specific problems you encountered, the best way is to open issue(s) on the FreeCAD repo and let people look at the files, it's hard to reply without trying...
