Maybe you want to have a look on FreeCAD and the Powers Users Hub

Get familiar with your tool of choice (Blender, FreeCAD, Code_Aster, etc), and then find a shortcoming, and let's fix it! We are available to guide you through the process of learning the codebase and

I am not sure what architects feel about the Topologic2FreeCAD route, any comments :)

* Drawing 3D non-manifold surfaces (non-self-intersecting surface that defines multiple closed cells) as required by topologic is really easy in blender and freecad (though I'm less familiar with free

Yes.. the wall was modelled in FreeCAD as one solid. So, Topologic is not going to be able to see it as 5 walls on its own.

if you changed the location of the door in FreeCAD, the script will still work and create the new graph automatically. This is why so many architects are enamored with visual data flow programming so

* not sure the simple FreeCAD model to feed into Topologic let you have more idea a better way to do in 'reverse' direction

* If it needs to 'edit' the FreeCAD model to build the CellComplex, it would be tedious as usually the building layout are developed by iteration of studies of spatial relationship, forms etc., not to

... The two voids/spaces are a good start, but they are separated by the walls. I had the same issue with models coming from Revit. I overcame that because you can embed room information in the doors

Hi @paullee. So the model you created imports perfectly into Topologic. This is not surprising because FreeCAD and Topologic both use OCCT and the BREP file format. The issue here is not geometry, but

There are FreeCAD and IFC file there, bother to have a look there to avoid duplicating? Maybe continue here if there is any feedback.

There was some discussion after last month meeting about Space in forum. I tried to provide some connection in Arch Space in FreeCAD, but apparently I am far from having competence, programming skill

This could be the missing link that allows blender and freecad to leapfrog other software and become invaluable for architectural design. i.e. rather than concentrating on tools that work at the level

I have been thinking again. We should make it possible what Yorik said, but not the way it is ATM in FreeCAD. I will coninue on FreeCAD forum.

Once again in the regard of IfcSite. I still think there is a bug in FreeCAD. We should let the user decide if he would like to add a site or not, but in any case we should link the objects to the Ifc

Ok, Yorik I am with you in this regard. BTW: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/74ffe857dc7056be23bd712969ef6731725de9e8

however, I think Dion repeated the same mistakes FreeCAD community did

However, I understand that both BlenderBIM and FreeCAD try to solve some issues some have, which is invaluable, however, it's too early to you all to think about "fund" or these kind

platform is not that important. For example, freeCAD and blender, whether to use these two tools in a large project do not affect the overall progress.
