There is much more than that, refer to the full documentation to know more. This is a rather short overview of what it can do, just to give you a taste of it.
If you are working with IFC files, give it a look! Note: The NativeIFC addon is being developed as an upgrade/extension of this add-on. You are more than welcome to try, give us your feedback and help us to build a better BIM workflow, just remember that some features might change or disappear without notice over time. Although it is perfectly safe to use, and won't break anything, it is meant to be an place where we can try things and experiment, and not a production environment (yet). In the BIM workbench, we try to ease that curve as best as we can. FreeCAD is a powerful application, but has a rather steep learning curve. The BIM workbench, rather than trying to be a all-in-one, independent application and mimic the above ones, integrates into all layers of FreeCAD and allows you to use all the other modelling and analysis tools of FreeCAD for BIM purposes too.īut one of the specific goals of this particular workbench, is to try to focus on user experience. This is a workbench for FreeCAD that implements a complete set of Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and allows a proper BIM workflow similar to professional BIM applications like Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, AllPlan or BricsCAD.įreeCAD is an open-source generic, parametric 3D modeling application.
