sorry for giving this impression, never aimed to this in my life and i will not start now! Nothing wrong brother Carlo, we are all of light hearted spirits so we can indulge on some harmless tease. by the way, as @paullee suggested, would be nice to see you around in https://community.osarch.org/ I...

Good account of FreeCAD capabilities and shortcoming :) Have you joined the OSArch.org ? There workflows possibilities should be discussed. I intend to have another deeper look at libreCAD, Inkscape to do documentation with FreeCAD. It seems you find this workflow not very efficient right? Hopefull...

... as mechanical design is not so similar to architectural process?... I agree that the assembly workbenches are still quite experimental, so users need to test this well to know what is possible. But on the topic of Architecture and assembly, I think you already saw carlopav's thread about design...

Having many object in a document could be dangerous, maybe a new format is needed for complex objects. Some other piece of software have found a solution, maybe not elegant, but easily implementable. The document is simply a compressed directory, expanded at opening, put in a temporary directory, m...

100% agree with everything you wrote regis. This is also my feeling. I think what we need to improve this field is 90% already present in actual Draft and Arch code (yorik effort in this 10 years is great and is what brought everyone of us here), we just have to adapt it to be more efficient! If we...

there are also some development by @moult to provide blender with documentation capabilities

And his works with documenting in blender

Hello Carlopav, this is a great initiave, we are already somewhat familiar with the general potential of the 3D modeling aspect of Freecad, however what is heavily underlooked is it's 2D drafting and annotation potential for serious documentation. And like you've pointed out the current workflow doe...

Hello guys there used to be a time when ArchSection + Techdraw could read simple dimensions and text annotations but it doesn't seem to be working naymore, any clues?

while playing with freecad primarily for designing mechanical parts, I'd like to ask - designing half timbered hosuse using arch - is it supported in any way ?

Kind regards,
Stefan

On a manual process level yes it is doable, but on a generative process i don't think it is yet possible.

Might this ligth Steel-Frame Creator be used for half-timbered (timmber instead of steel ) houses too?

Kind Regards,
Stefan

I'm also pondering wether i can use this steel frame stuffs sooner or later
