Implementation for these and the transitioning curves in IfcOpenShell (the open source IFC library that FreeCAD BIM workbench uses) is in progress https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/blob/v0.

world. @yorik has been working on IFC/BIM in FreeCAD for nearly a decade now I think, so in terms of handling the file format itself, it might be pretty easy.

Swept path analysis is indeed one of the most important analysis in archiectural design though it would only be a very small .part .for most building type. Joel had discussed about that in FreeCAD f

There was also a related post here https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=59749 - is it possible to continue this discussion here, as the topic would be not just FreeCAD related, bu

We've agreed that a good approach would be to write an intelligent API node which detects API calls and inputs and outputs from standardised API documentation. Later on, this API node can be wrapped i

It would be awesome to replace the current FreeCAD bcfplugin lib with this one, since this one fixes many of the issues the bcfplugin had, and is updated for the latest BCF specs.

In the BlenderBIM Add-on, the representation retains its 2D status throughout editing. I'm not sure about FreeCAD. Maybe @yorik will know?

I did the same with your file. Your polyline closed was converted to Wire Object or Edges-Merged Objects in FreeCAD.

I tried with AutoCAD and FreeCAD, no luck. not sure if Blender have those objects.

Oh, and if FreeCAD wanted it could reuse the API for appending assets so it could benefit too ... @yorik we really need to have that discussion about native IFC in FreeCAD :)

? Would be very helpful to test if my model and FreeCAD output good IFC. Thanks :D

I have been concentrating on blender, so I haven't really investigated freecad, but at the moment you should be able to save a brep file (with planar faces only), run the brep2ifc.py script, and impor

Did I mention that the Homemaker add-on library on doesn't depend on blender at all? There is a short script in the repository called brep2ifc.py that shows how you could use FreeCAD geometry to creat

Last year I tested BlenderBim and FreeCad as autoring tools for BIM in Civil Engineering (roads and structures mainly) with good results ( If you adopt a convenient workflow, I think they are very us

The good news is that IfcConvert already supports IFC to gltf and glb :) For the other way around, I'm not entirely sure how much sense it makes, since it is equivalent to any generic 3D format. I gue

I found a future equivalent to SketchUp/Blender in FreeCAD. Check the Design456 WB Tweak Tool.
