You can sign up on the Wiki, add a new link to the homepage, perhaps something like "List of architectural FreeCAD models", then add a table and links, similar to how the AEC free so

Furthermore, the convenience comes with how Revit forces users to manage in its way by presenting element hierarchy (category, family, type, instance). This will lead to somewhat an unified method of

OpenCascade is a mature geometry kernel. It is used by FreeCAD, IfcOpenShell, and XBim. However, the problem is a bit more complex.

I recommend to use IfcOpenShell. It has a very strong presence in the open source world and is used by FreeCAD, Blender, BIMServer, among others.

If  @yorik and @Moult tell me that the Freecad graphics engine (or Blender) is going to be able to do something similar ... all good! We will work to achieve the best interface !!

@htlcnn Some months ago I shared the same advises to FreeCAD community, specially @yorik and @Moult but they didn't accept that if Revit is successful is because is user-friendly and anything is clear

etc.), not the geometry core. That said, FreeCAD's GUI needs to be improved so much more to compete with Revit.

I prefer to add and not divide. I join FreeCAD but asking ... does the Open Cascade engine allow us to wait until we become technologically competitive with Revit?

More FreeCAD models of iconic architectural works.

If you want develop an information system from scratch first of all you have to choose an geometric modeling kernel, both FreeCAD and IfcOpenShell chose Open CASCADE (https://github.com/tpaviot/oce)

@yorik , Surely your idea is to achieve in a few years a good BIM software based on FreeCAD. I am interested in contributing to make 3D / 2D interaction consistent and support important projects. Coun

@yorik will give a presentation on FreeCAD!

I think the most important thing is to be able to consistently and highly efficiently cut objects from an IFC file. Then the IFC may come from FreeCAD, the BlenderBIM Add-on, ArchiCAD, Revit, it doesn

I also do my small contribution. I help to the FreeCAD project with translation, bug reporting, forum discussion, architectural workflow test and icons design for UI.

The first question is whether to make our programmers work based on Freecad or Blender. The most important thing for us is the power of the modeling engine and especially the agility of two-dimensiona

that could get great benefice of tools like FreeCAD and Blender, with the additional BIM addons and BIM improvements needed for more efficient arch/eng workflows. That, I think is a very possible goa

From what I've seen of Freecad so far, the way to achieving this interaction on large projects is far away. And I also see Freecad more mechanically oriented (even though @yorik makes excellent effort

As first proposed by @bernd over at the FreeCAD forums, I think it's a great idea to share code between FreeCAD and BlenderBIM. I'm posting to start the discussion off with a very simple draft propos
