So your idea is to build something like the BimServer just for more fileformats than IFC? Maybe it is a good idea to team up with them, as all what you describe is there already. Good remark, especially since there are subprojects in OCP where BIM/IFC could be interesting, like the Data Center subp...

The compilation lasted for around 30 minutes with an i7-3770 and 32GB memory and 'make -j8' (no speedy SSD).

It seems compilation with FreeCAD.sh worked thanks!
Used schroot/debootstrap instead of vagrant because the build machine is already a debian (stretch/sid), so this is more lightweight than vagrant/virtualbox, and probably easier for display export.
