What you might not have realized about Freecad is that it's Sketches are parametric geometries that are the foundation for a Freecad model. Change the parametric relationships between a sketch and all

I agree. How far fetched would it be to find something like sverchok (or sverchok itself) for FreeCAD? That would be amazing.

And Sketch based architectural workflow with FreeCAD is really a cool concept. If topologic comes into play with it, FreeCAD will truly become an amazing architectural modeler.

One of the approach I envisioned / experimented in FreeCAD to build the Villa Savoye model is simply use of the Sketch object there to 'outline' the layout of the floor plan / CellComplex.

I just stumbled across CharonIfc "A library to extract information from an IFC file to produce Technical Documentation like Specifications and Bill of Quantities." based on IfcOpenSh

I had used dwg/dxf format as I had been an autocad user since almost R10 (1991 ?) until about 2008 I think. Not really used Revit and other BIM tools until FreeCAD Arch/BIM WB. DXF is good enough to

IMHO libreCAD should join FreeCAD Draft Workbench and/or create a separate LibreCAD WorkBench because FreeCAD supports C++ and Python and could be relatively ease ported, I think...

fails completely, or the result isn't accurate. Freecad draft module also doesn't handle offsets well with polylines/beziers.

Hi @paullee Are you looking to try Topologic or Homemaker/Topologise in FreeCAD? If the former: coding Topologic in FreeCAD can now be tested by installing it from http://github.com/wassimj/topologic

If something is ready for use or test in FreeCAD, would like to try :D

Yes, LibreDWG is moving very actively and we should encourage its use. At the moment we kind of need to do a feature comparison to libdxfrw which is what's being used now but it not very active and do

* neither BlenderBIM nor FreeCAD are really needed to run BIMTester

All this code is here on GitHub, hardly any of this is blender specific, so it should be straightforward to use in freecad.

LibreCAD 2 opens big DWG files in comparison to FreeCAD or Blender at least in my case.

... is than with the already could not be necessary import export since AutoCAD, because the Object Enabler(s), arx-crx-dbx, could add support for Blender or FreeCAD native files and work like Externa

An not to leave FreeCAD behind, topologic also works in it. We now need four things to move forward:
