A demo how a Sketch in FreeCAD facilitate creation of ArchWall and 'CellComplex' -

If you want to use it in FreeCAD, you can use it as a pure python module but there isn’t a GUI workbench for it. If you are interested in that, you can grab it out of homemaker and just import it and

First thing catch my attention is only 3 peoples use Linux VS 28 use Windows. Had not installed any Windows probably > 10 years at home, the last Windows is Vista on a laptop (broken long ag

FreeCAD works, but I'm worried about performance too. In FreeCAD, it would be IFC -> FreeCAD -> FreeCAD HLR Renderer -> SVG. Historically, in the past with the BlenderBIM Add-on I

If you export your Blender project as IFC project, FreeCAD will import and open it as individual IFC objects.

I haven't tried FreeCAD. Can it import all of Blender's objects as individual objects (Revit can import .obj but only as a 'single lump')? What are the quirks of a Blender / FreeCAD workflow?

ATM the latest BIMTester code from ifcopenshell repo does not run with the FreeCAD AddOn. All the changes broke the FreeCAD AddOn. If my old BIMTester code is used it still works.

Any wiki / forum discussion how to use this BimTester in FreeCAD ? Thanks.

Maybe better FreeCAD Arch/BIM Workbench wiki and @yorik video on ArchWindows (Door) ? :)

I am interested in this question as well. This probably isn't relevant to your work flow but I currently import points from our total station into QGIS and digitize the survey plan there. Then I brin

For parametric 'families' maybe take a look at the spreadsheet interface of Freecad. This example video is a good intro..

If a schema doesn't exist for a certain function, i think one should be hacked. If this 'hack' is picked up in other ecosystems, like Freecad, then we can make an argument to BuildingSmart to make it

(whilst starting to build those 'cells' in FreeCAD .)

Just watched Video referenced on Freecad forum. Not my discipline, but looks impressive. Believe an article on osarch.org would be great

FreeCAD code for layer:

so it would be trivially easy to port to FreeCAD, or run server-side to deliver the bim model in a browser using IFC.js, etc..

BTW: in FreeCAD we use this ... https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob/916fe37a6b757e3bf6d51fb65ebc412243125d8e/src/Mod/Arch/importIFCHelper.py#L239-L257

In fact, I am thinking the other way. In FreeCAD, I can do a Sketch with 'single-line' floor plan, and this could build all walls of the full floor plan with a click, and also generate 'CellComplex'
