This is a really helpful collection for anyone getting started with FreeCAD BIM, especially the breakdown of IFC modes and practical workflows like importing files, assigning IFC classes, and building

I see the best of both worlds - with individual Wall object in FreeCAD, it may face similar parametric problem, but easier and finer control and clear identity of each wall segment; with Sketch in Fr

A simple video demonstration of what works and not in FreeCAD wall, base-less, based on Sketch etc.

Still have not tested if it works on Windows - I am a bit distracted by also playing with Freecad and finally getting a bit used to it and even having some fun.

The described workflow is possible - FreeCAD gives you a lot of freedom in how to model things.

And I postulate that it would be far better if we had a Separation between Structural and Finishing Parts of a Building, just as it is build in reality. (First you pour Structurall Walls and Slabs, th

So after all there is a tool which enables baseless wall stretching, but it is not very intuitive as you can see here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/29512#issuecomment-4276885236

You can use selection filter: https://wiki.freecad.org/Part_SelectFilter

I wondered why Freecad Selection is by default in sub mode (Face/Edge/Vertex)

Yes, this is the current situation in FreeCAD. I think it is a weakness of wall creation/manipulation, as user often has to think about and calculate wall thickness offset/divide by two, etc.

I avoided to ask these questions on the Freecad Forum, as long as it all heavily based on missing knowledge and experience with Freecad :)

Would you and/or @semhustej mind opening a thread in FreeCAD BIM forum cross-posting discussion here to let developers aware of the consideration - https://forum.freecad.org/viewforum.php?f=23

I just could not imagine it is like this as there are other components on another level already. But working with Walls for me was always "the" essential feature. I really thought yo

If they're all using Bonsai or Freecad (which uses NativeIFC), i would recommend keeping all the disciplines in one model, and using @brunopostle's awesome IfcMerge tool for distributed version contro

No, there are not. It is possible to merge walls or join them, but 'Wall Connection' does not exist in FreeCAD.

Are these other peeps using Bonsai (or Freecad) as well?

I still don't get the general philosophy of how to properly work with and use Walls in Freecad.

I’d rather look into https://github.com/neka-nat/freecad-mcp or https://spkane.github.io/freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server and fire up my local Llama.cpp instance.

Oddly, you didn't post in the FreeCad forum. Why?
