The Arch Workbench now finally has a (more or less) decent BImserver tool, found in Arch->Utilities->Bim Server:
With it you can connect to a Bimserver instance, select a project and upload or download IFC files from that project. The first time you click on the "Connect" button, you will be asked for a Bimserver URL and login, the next times it will try to autoconnect when you launch the command.
When you upload a file, you must choose a "root object" from the document, which must be an Arch Building or Arch Site.
When uploading or downloading, you can save the IFC file to be uploaded or downloaded. If you cancel the file saving dialog, the file will be saved under a temp name in the system's temp directory.
At the moment the Bimserver is not too useful, you can basically store versions of IFC files and view them in the integrated 3D viewer. But in the future it should become something pretty powerful, where you can do all kinds of queries, comparisons and checks, and also merge different versions intelligently. Now we will be ready for it

Re: BimServer tool
Great, thank you for this template.
I'm thinking in the moment of a way to delegate point cloud calculations to a pc pool. The possiblility to connect to 20 pc's in a classroom and to use 4 instances on each computer for parallel computation can speed up with factor near 80. So the work of one day can be done in 10 minutes.

Re: BimServer tool
Looking good.
P.S. What would be interesting to have in the future in FreeCAD is default support for Git, WebDAV, FTP... If at least one would be supported by default i guess it would be interesting to see what features FreeCAD developers would build on that.

Re: BimServer tool
I think it would really nice it this can extend to different type of plm servers… however i can imagine that this is useful after the update of an assembly module.

Good to hear that!yorik wrote:Git is coming next.
Something like Dulwich with a porcelain Python API? As that is the only one i could find that might satisfy FreeCAD licence policy in the future (once it will be licensed under Apache license). Anyway looking forward for this as i guess it could provide a solid base for a lot of things we discussed in the past!

Re: BimServer tool
The BimServer tool has now been moved out of Arch and is now part of the WebTools addon.
