Here a tiny house project made with FreeCAD

Qcad for some 2d, (to use freecad snap later)

And DXF imported into FreeCAD

Images of a FLOSS workflow shared by a FreeCAD user called Alfred.

IFC STEP files are plain text and line-based, so in principle they should play nicely with tools like git/mercurial etc.. In practice, Blenderbim (I haven't tested Freecad) is already extremely git fr

right.. any of the potential MEP tools ! used to have KiCAD on the list (which is only for electronic devices, but could be the starting point for electrical appliance simulation.) Someone to mix Qel

I really need to learn how to use the Roof tool in FreeCAD Arch/BIM wb, it take most of the time in this quick model :D

Sounds interesting, cross-posting at FreeCAD :D

A useful project would be to take one of these plans and recreate a full IFC model in blenderbim, or freecad (or both). This would be a great learning exercise in lots of ways (not least because these

I think it's worth it. If the structure's in the IFC file, BB can use it 'natively'. Other programs like 'FreeCAD' could use it as well, if so desired. Build it and they will come. :)

Thank you for posting that - it was a very informative discussion. Nice to know that I'm not the only one struggling with what program to use (Revit vs Blender vs FreeCAD - not forgetting Unreal!).

* New API for generating a Molior model from Topologic geometry, this should improve Topologic-Sverchok nodes and FreeCAD integration.

Seriously, I think that it is worth considering ultimate goals, and what it would take to get there. An intermediate goal would be for blenderbim or freecad to become an essential part of the toolbox

* Proposal for a small 1-week hackathon between 5 FOSS projects who are already well engaged in OSArch (e.g. BlenderBIM Add-on, FreeCAD, IFC.JS, Topologic, Homemaker, ...?)

In fact @dimitar had discussed briefly some problems about FreeCAD, better have slight elaboration to illustrate the desirable procedures (and report in FC forum) so the developers can work on them :D
