I have no clear idea yet, but basically: - All "Arch" tools will be renamed to "BIM" (So Arch_Wall becomes BIM_Wall) - Everything that is currently in the BIM WB will be there So I would say there is something that can already be done now: Go through all the BIM tools, and create...

Hi all, The work on Toponaming is almost complete, thanks to the hard work of bgbsww, calligarov and chennes! We are expecting to "flip the switch" (enable toponaming mitigation, at the moment the code is there but it's not active) in the coming weeks, and there is a test suite being built...

I'm happy to announce the FPA has contracted adrianos to update the FreeCAD manual at https://wiki.freecad.org/manual Adrianos is a long-time solidworks user and new to FreeCAD, which I think will be beneficial as he'll have a fresh look and a better chance to detect inaccuracies or wrong things in ...

Cross-posting from https://yorik.uncreated.net/blog/2024-006-freecad-news-20 Upgraded Arch reference The Arch Reference tool is used within Arch/BIM workbenches to include parts of models that are saved in other FreeCAD files. There is a mechanism that detects if the file has been modified externall...

I'll be fairly busy now with NativeIFC, but that's something we can plan in parallel, and who knows, more people get interested in w...

Just a few tweaks to the current logo: no highlights, finer outline, a bit rotated gear, a tiny bit more "punchy" colors.

let's do the time that's announced here then, 17h30 euro / 10h30 central us

Yes the time on the calendar is 18h30 cest.. let me see what we do

But in Draft/Arch Dimension we need to make a deep refactoring of the very useful tool to measure like https://wiki.freecad.org/Arch_Survey that it's strategic and important even for BIM, especially for surface and volume measure and to send that to plan annotation/dimension for a regular architect...

Basically I see it like this: The problem (in absolute terms it's not exactly a problem but let's call it a problem here), is that we have two different ways to place dimensions: One in TechDraw and one in Draft. At this moment, we have problems with TechDraw dimensions: 1) they don't work on the 2D...
