Tada ! Finally it works on FreeCAD 0.21 (pre) !

I was offering rpms as a way to get Topologic working with the version of freecad that comes with fedora - this is not the all-in-one freecad binary distributed by freecad.org, it is built for fedora

* in FreeCAD 0.20 : sys.path.append("/home/paullee/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages")

@paullee the fedora Topologic packages are compatible with the fedora freecad packages, but they don't yet include the topologicpy API, you need to install this separately.

It turns out, I had my old Topologic Workbench in my C:\Users[username]\Appdata\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\ folder which was incompatible with FreeCAD 0.21.0 This was being loaded first before the newer topo

I don't know why. It loads perfectly well under python3.8 and it works perfectly with FreeCAD 0.20. What did they change in 0.21 to make it fail??

Hope the topologicpy can work in FreeCAD 0.21, as it works in 0.20 :D

the capabilities of proprietary equivalents. FreeCAD started in 2002 but FreeCAD's scope is more than architectural and maybe you could claim it is best compared to CATIA from 1982, but FreeCAD has a

I don't think it would be right to compare proprietary software like AutoCAD with companies of millions of dollars behind v/s FreeCAD or BlenderBIM that is in an alpha stage of development. There is n

Currently in my work I plan to compare proprietary software (probably ArchiCAD and the Affinity Suite) with open source software (FreeCAD, BlenderBIM, Inkscape, Scribus, Sverchok etc.) with a concrete

too bad.. something like the FOSSDEM in Brussels where the FreeCAD met together would be a very nice thing for osarch..

Just registered. I am really looking forward to see the people live. I am structural engineer in Zürich. I have been using and developing for and with IfcOpenShell and FreeCAD for around 10 years.

FreeCAD BIM weekly update 24.02.2023

Can share the floor plan here? Had tried modeled some residential towers in FreeCAD and always curious how to take quantities from it :D

Now I am thinking that further down, it may be nice to perhaps collaborate with someone and make this same model a BIM model. So before, finalising the model, I want to check about certain strategies

That's really impressive ! Should have cross-posted in FreeCAD Arch/BIM forum, I missed that post !
