I find doing a layout, reiterating design options, with ArchWall / Sketches etc. in FreeCAD (like modelling the Villa Savoye, Carpenter Centre) quite good. Can has area of room, different wall thickn

Thanks @paullee! In freecad, you have to be a lot more methodical in your approach, ie think more specifically about the setup. I see it as a complimentary step 2 to the process, so once the initial d

Thanks, and also a WB for drawing steel column in FreeCAD:

i would guess that Freecad is probably a good place to start and/or for structural analysis of steel details the software https://github.com/xcfem/xc could also be interesting.

The FreeCAD Trails workbench (still in active development so pretty unstable) can also export contours from a mesh. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=508934#p508934

the creation of structure objects I have used Freecad and the rest are programs used in road design that I used until now (in my case, Bentley PowerCivil quite old, but any program capable of exporti

BTW, the IFC is produced in FreeCAD 0.20pre, git 25025.

@Moult I am not able to export an ifc file imported from freecad, have tried mimicing the blenderbim structure too. what could be done. I am using blenderbim 210605 version.

I'd like to rewind to two years ago. OSArch didn't exist. FreeCAD and some trickily compiled software was the only way to view IFCs with free software and on Linux. IFC4 support had to be specially co

What about money to offer "bounties" to address specific issues or bugs in FLOSS projects related to AEC. Like ArchWB bug list in the FreeCAD Bugtracker.

What about a complete the loop with BlenderBIM <-> FreeCAD BIMWB. There is BIMServer that could be used to connect different software as clients for a single BIM model in the cloud.

@bitacovir thanks so much for keeping us up to date with the FreeCad forum.

Also planed is full bim "editablity" providen blenderbim allow it soon, meaning archipack will be 2'nd foss "bim able" software with FreeCad.
