to you! For BIM, using the BlenderBIM Add-on or FreeCAD are both good first choices to get familiar!

There have been so much going on, and no dedicated FOSS in AEC news site to cover all the news :) I'd like to propose that this weekend, I fire up a quick Wordpress instance (because it does the job)

I see blinks of this process everywhere in this community, but nothing is really binding all pieces together: BlenderBIM, Archipack, Topologise, FreeCAD sketches, Sverchok... they all have parts that

The Gui is not yet in a separate directory. If a separate directory is used again import problems arise on relative imports. But since the code is copied ATM to BlenderBIM and FreeCAD and may be some

Do you mean the calls to start the stand alone bimtester gui? I already did this in the FreeCAD bimtester. See https://github.com/berndhahnebach/bimtester/blob/d76bbba0fed982fca2be65362bc7d253660df3f

I have a small job creating content for a manufacturer and am looking for the best way to make the content available in a useful way to as many software platforms as possible. My authoring software is

The urb-topologist.pl script uses the Urb::Polygon module for drawing pitched roofs, but this isn't very successful and only works for simple shapes, plus it pushes the boolean code in ifcopenshell a

I have been mentoring 3 times for FreeCAD FEM and have more or less been involved in the FreeCAD Arch mentoring in helping here and there.

I've been cleaning up https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Sverchok and was looking for some resources for Sverchok in FreeCAD, didn't really find much but did the project mentioned here by @bitaco

@bitacovir that's very cool! But I think it's not what I was referring to. I'm not trained in MEP, but I think in MEP it's not just about drawing pipes, it's about defining a "system&quot

FreeCAD has some integrated tools for pipes and connectors (Arch Pipe) in the Arch workbench. Also it has the Dodo workbench that work with the BIM WB.

Fantastic! I've never seen the fabrication level designs for pipes and fittings. Does FreeCAD have any support for "systems design" of MEP (i.e. prior to fabrication)?

A FreeCAD user (rus) just developed a new workbench for the Open Source Ecology (OSE) project.

the general idea is at some point to have all of realthunder's improvements merged into freecad. But it's a lot of work, because his work is very complicated to integrate, so it goes slowly. I suppose

if it is a branch should it also carry Current FreeCAD developments? So, do you think that after FreeCAD latest development is released, Realthunder's branch will have those updates too?

If you are using the BIM workbench, you can simply update it from the addons manager. However, part of the enhancements described in the article are in FreeCAD itself. For this, you must wait for a ne

Hi Yorik. Excellent update. I must read everything from here to the initial post though, to see what can be achieved with FreeCAD.
