Sorry, I mean a external server, like BIM Server or similar that could manage this process trough a FreeCAD api or similar.
Slightly sidetracking (sorry), but how do you set up bimserver and or other collaborative environments in freecad?alex_V wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 9:42 pmhi guys,
What do you think is the best solution to deal with the size of the files? Currently I am able to connect to my BIM Server (1.5) and keep the session open, then select my project and the revision that I want to download. (I divided the process in 3 steps since FreeCAD crashes dealing with big projects). But my main problem is importing the IFC file, sometimes it takes a really long time, so if I have 2 or more architects working on the same project it would take ages to download, convert to IFC, import the IFC to FreeCAD, and then the other way around.
I really don't know how we can have a single file (project) that could be shared with the users. I thought BIM and IFC could be the answer but i am a little bit lost about how to do it, what do you guys think?
Yorik, would it be possible to give a short example how this works ? You may be did already but I can not find it.yorik wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 3:19 pmActually that's another point to optimize, the giant parsing operation that starts at https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... FC.py#L340 is inefficient and takes a lot of time. We could optimize that a lot by using the inverse attributes of IFC objects, that IfcOpenShell now supports very well

Oh right... we now have a test that activates each installed workbench... I'll see what can be done there
Will test when new appimage comes out (~1 week from now)
