if I delete the empty directory pythonpackage in the main source directory of BOLTS I can reproduce your problem. The pythonpackage is based on freecad backend. In the freecad directory are the module

A couple of obvious projects to talk about could be BlenderBIM addon( @Moult ) , Topologic ( @topologic ), Homemaker ( @brunopostle ) , FreeCAD BIM Workbench ( @bitacovir ) - anyone got other sugges

once again some movement to avoid duplicate code in BOLTS FreeCAD distribution and BOLTS PythonPackage distribution. code examples are now here ... https://github.com/boltsparts/BOLTS/blob/master/ba

just a simple example to access the data from BOLTSFC ... in FreeCAD Python console

ATM there are distributions for FreeCAD, OpenSCAD and there is a alfa version for Nemetschek Allplan which is used only by me.

Some question which might be oblivious for most people around (I am a FreeCAD guy).

some screen from FreeCAD BOLTSFC AddOn ...

BTW: have you tried the BOLTS frontend for FreeCAD. It implements a nice gui to add all BOLTS profile data. The gui dependend on the params of the BOLTS part and is dynamically created out of the para

my vote would be FreeCAD. In the regard of connections FreeCAD FEM perfectly fits as well.

I have not forgotten about this ... There has been a lot going in FreeCAD FEM and in FreeCAD officials. But much more time consuming is our new earth dweller. It`s a boy :-) Thus less sleep and much

To report back, @realthunder provides a solution to boost the graphic performance to 60fps for a model with huge number of Links (more than 1 thousand experimented in my last post imitating what is de

@stephen_l is correct. The BlenderBIM Add-on works in a completely different way to FreeCAD. In FreeCAD, all the data is stored in FreeCAD, and you can export this to IFC. So in FreeCAD, the FStd and

Probably a better understanding of the workflow / add-on in Blender e.g. Panelisation / Tissue may help more development in FreeCAD :)

@Soegab the closest I can suggest to tutorials on drawing a house from scratch is to look at the page AEC Workflow Examples and several of them have some good threads on FreeCAD describing the process

Yes, basic modelling in FreeCAD is ok and your work on making walls and doors/windows easier to work with helps a lot! As for panelisation, Yorik's curtain wall is a good start. I've seen someone try

Motivated by Dimitar's videos, trying how 'voxelisation' could be done in FreeCAD
