If you are up to try some coding (it's easy!), you could do that in FreeCAD with a fairly simple macro, something like this (not tested, might need some tweaking)

Since both Blender and FreeCAD share IfcOpenShell I think this a good resource for the community. It's still very fresh and lacking in features, but you can see it here: https://ci.blenderbim.org/

Personally, I work more on the more experimental side of architecture (experimental in an arch practice, so actually nowhere near as experimental as in academia) and luckily, there is plenty of open s

Yorik that's great- I didn't have a problem bringing in the shapefile using BlenderGIS. One thing to make sure you have checked is the Produce 3D vector on the Contour algo. I also tried the QGIS DXF

Blender perfectly... Only they don't arrive in FreeCAD at the same location (which is also not the location where the DXF file imports). But it gives nice and precise contour lines in FreeCAD quite e

Nice!! Thanks for the explanation. I followed your steps, then exported the mesh to FreeCAD. Also generated contours in QGIS (raster->extraction->contours), then exported as .shp, but Bl

Would you give some ideas of things you think would be achievable? Maybe some examples of what you are doing with it? QGIS is, like Blender and FreeCAD, highly integratable, there might be a lot of in

Welcome @baswein ! I have no experience at all in landscape BIM, and so if you could become a heavy user of Blender and / or FreeCAD and advise us on what needs to be done (features to build / fixes t

I am a landscape designer and planner and would potentially be interested in being involved in this project. I use QGIS heavily and lately have been trying to figure out how to round trip between QGIS

I also think there is no need for a real team effort to develop the arch part of a small building, being FreeCAD or anything else... However, the collaboration part is the interesting piece to try.. M

What i usually do with point clouds is to turn them into a mesh with meshlab, then use that as a site object in freecad. You can compile FreeCAD with the pcb library, which gives extra tools in the Po
