Re: Can I clone a workbench, i.e. PartDesign

I think the easiest way would be to do a very minimal workbench and add all the commands of PartDesign. Have a look at https://wiki.freecad.org/Workbench_creation But there might be further mechanisms of PartDesign that might not be available that way...

Re: IFC driven top down parametric design

I generally agree with RayAtFreecad though that the window tool is often clumsy and hard to use. I myself end up mostly in creating the window first, outside of any wall, then including it manually. What you call "bottom-up" is actually a try at working around a limitation of FreeCAD, that...

Re: BIM/Arch development news articles from Yorik's blog

These "magical dimensions" in Revit are indeed some very special feature. At the moment Draft dimensions are "dumb" somehow, they can only show the dimension being measured. But there could be a way to tie them to something else. That's a whole new project, though!

Re: Current state of documentation - Your feedback as contributor

Excellent thread! I'd be really happy to carry this effort further, and the more people participate, the better!

Re: Structural Steel Detailing - CET.SteelConnDesign ?

Amazing work!! I'd love if that could become open-source one day... Have you considered it? There could be ways to make money out of it in other ways, like offering support or assets... And it could tap into a much larger pool of users, and get help from FreeCAD developers too. Just saying ;)

Re: Installing native-ifc Add-on from github
