Thanks for your report. Yeap, it's a shame. BIM Setup doesn't work if there's no document opened. Try opening BIM setup with some empty document opened

The problem here seems to be that ActiveDocument is None. This means that you have no active document open.
Many things in FreeCAD don't work if you don't have a document open. So, my best advice is to always open an empty document before doing anything else.
In this particular case, BIM can be improved so that the command BIM Setup is disabled if no active document is pressed. Many buttons are disabled if you have no active document, so this should be the same.

And this is not acceptable! We shouldn't tolerate this issue. It means that the current test coverage is inadequate.

I disagree. BIM setup should still work as those settings are not related to the active document but are global.

I do not understand why this topic is (still) pinned. It has become a rather random collection of comments, bug reports etc. I suggest unpinning it.
I suspect it's because BIM is not a part of FreeCAD yet, but still is kind of an "official" workbench. Maybe it would be better to create a separate BIM subforum?
