did some tests... part created in FreeCAD (tessellated for representation in BB) at the Meshworkbench.(.obj) (optimized mesh)

@stefanm2 Both IfcOpenShell (BB based on) and FreeCAD core engine use OpenCascade, seems there are a lot of common aspects.

Would be awesome, btw, to roundtrip linked aggregates between freecad/bb. :)

I've posted on FreeCAD forum "Draft, Arch & BIM"

You can post a Feature Request at FreeCAD forum, sounds like a very good feature :D

I've started studing the reinforcement workbench in FreeCAD, putting stirrups in strip foundation was easy because i've separated precisely the base slab in a way to reproduce the old drawings made in

Another animation made in FreeCAD with the Movie Workbench and Render.

Here's another example of animation made in Freecad's Movie Workbench, now with rendered frames (

Me gustaría dejar aquí el enlace de la charla sobre el banco de trabajo Movie, organizada por el grupo FreeCAD en español. Para mejorar la comprensión de las explicaciones, hice una especie de errata

And it would be great if BB can change the length - maybe pinging @yorik (the Core Developer of FreeCAD, Arch/BIM/Native-IFC/Draft WB), if he is interested to have a look, if the compatibility between

Inspired by your workflow, I tested a bit of FreeCAD Arch Structure with a universal beam type and roundtrip IFC ... seems can skip the 'step' part :)

it's visible). After saving as ifc I changed to FreeCad. There (bim workbench) I selected in the tree only the beam. Pressed "Strg (ctrl)+C" created new file, there I pressed &q

Could you outline the workflow here? And try Native-IFC in FreeCAD and see the possibilities? :)

I´ve created a beam in BBim, saved it, then I opened it in FreeCAD. Copy and pasted it into a new file. Created drillingholes in partdesign (saved it as .step) and did the GCode generation for milling

With just one image, I would draw the perspective on the Freecad sketcher, but that's more manual. EPFL students do it with paintings. Not sure if it works with a photo.

Really looking forward to the upcoming type support in FreeCAD. Types are really fundamental to how BIM works!
