page (here), and I'm developing a low fee FreeCAD course meant to welcome people interested in 3D modeling in this world (Portuguese only for now). Also just started learning Blender and it seems rea

This tutorial explains the BIM Material system in FreeCAD. It shows how work with materials and multi-materials. Multi-material concept is something akin to IfcMaterialConstitutenSet and IfcMaterialLa

This video shows how easy it is to import landXML terrain data to FreeCAD using the Road Workbench.

until now. I've spent some time with FreeCAD BIM and found it hard work, I'm moving along the learning curve far quicker with Bonsai. Thank you @Moult for making Bonsai and @Ace for your great tuto

This FreeCAD tutorial explains how to import geodetic survey points from a csv or text file. Road Workbench is used for this task.

Just as information, how to easy create a html page out of an .ifc model with bonsai and FreeCad (loading times are not short, but I don´t care).

In this post there is a Python script developed by FraJoMen that creates the terrain mesh.

I'm currently exploring the BIM workbench in FreeCAD, and have just started working out how to use Blender Bonsai with GitHub and Bonsai MCP for AI driven automation. Ideally, I'd like to develop an

Is there a way to import a .brep file (which I would have exported from FreeCAD) directly into the IFC in Bonsai as a representation of an item?

I have failed to export one from FreeCAD (makes an IfcFacetedBrep), TopSolid(IfcFacetedBrep), ArchiCAD (IfcPolygonalFaceSet) and Revit (IfcTessellation)

Ok custom extruded solid is super interesting and seems to work as part modeling in FreeCAD, is that correct?

Now if you want to reproduce this in FOSS. My guess is that you could use for example FreeCAD to draw a parametric door with sketches, like in a rfa environment. Then for each type you want, for examp

You are both right, but I was trying with three isolated vertices, as I am used to with points in sketch environments like FreeCAD.

Extruded profil in freecad

Do you think software like BonsaiBIM and freeCAD could be a mechanism to tease out what should be included in the IFC schema?

This tutorial covers how to setup parametric stairs object to achieve various types of stairs in FreeCAD BIM.

so editable separately in Block Edit Mode. In FreeCAD I miss one Layer, but am not experienced enough to see how editable or not ....

Indeed IfcMaterialLayerSets are not implemented in FreeCAD yet. But we have a structure (MultiMaterial) that would translate well into it. Only, with the new native IFC system, there are still many po

You need to 'Load Material' in the IFC options for FreeCAD to try to load the MaterialLayerSet. It runs into this issue with the current 1.1dev version: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/21360
