Blender users. That's why I would lean on FreeCAD when comparing modeling capabilities for BIM. But like I said above, FreeCAD has a huge UI and UX gap to fill.

There are pros and cons to every system. I have also used a technique where the majority of a design was done in Blender, but specific portions to be manufactured were then modeled in FreeCAD - so a c

"The only area where Revit is very, very much better than both Blender and FreeCAD is generating complete, annotated, beautiful and manageable 2D drawings. I know this will horrify more than

an end to end pipe line for my work. Encountered FreeCad as well 4 years ago and ran....resigned to the reality that I'll most likely run back sometime, but currently very happy just seeing what more

@yorik great! Next month we'll have a session on FreeCAD! If you think you can make it, please put yourself on the spreadsheet! If you'd like an email reminder prior, put your email as well and I'll

Sounds good to me! Would be cool to discuss some of the low hanging fruit approaches for roundtripping simple objects between blender and freecad.

Basically as long as it's usable from Python or C++ and doesn't rely on too complicated or OS-specific libraries, anything can be used inside FreeCAD. If some people prefer the PyFlow way, nothing pre

I could do the next one on may 2nd about FreeCAD, what about that?

However, maybe FreeCAD team says we work on PyFlow for the same reason, I don't know, but I know that IfcXtreme would be more advanced than what PyFlow provides

Indeed docs become obsolete very quick.. That's a general problem with open-source projects and specially with FreeCAD... There are more people ready to code than ready to update the docs... (my own f

parameters is also a feature I could not find in FreeCAD. You let users organize the model freely but don't give them tools to fully manage information in a connected way (such as depended/link prope

Because of its importance I open a new topic to discuss about IFC, BlenderBIM and FreeCAD documentation methods

For FreeCAD BIM Workbench, I really appreciate hard work that @yorik have been doing to put it into production. But I found it hard to:

@yorik You didn't mention does FreeCAD support PMI?

that some users will only be satisfied when FreeCAD or Blender would have become a perfect clone of Revit. This is basically because the application we are most used to will always feel the best to u

I have a question, does FreeCAD support PMI? If yes why you don't implement it in BlenderBIM to have a dynamic presentations and representations?

Speaking from experience modeling objects to be fabricated in Blender, I do not see an issue. Some objects I find more natural to model in FreeCAD, and so I use FreeCAD too. Some objects are easier in
