Hi. Since some days ago the Addon Manager keeps updating the BIM module without stopping.

Fixed. I just manually deleted all BIM folders in AppData and reinstalled them with Addon Manager. Now it updates normally.

No problem for me... Thinking about your other bug in another thread, is it possible that you have the BIM WB installed twice?
*EDIT* I had missed your reply. Great!

Hi, I am starting to use this tool. thanks for the work !!
I would like to ask a question, sorry if it is duplicated, I could not find it on the site.
Every time I start the BIM WB I got the error message:
"Workbench failure: "module" object has no attribute "addDocumentObserver"
I also installed it on Mac and got the same error.

Thanks.
Cheers,
Enrique

Indeed some latest code is only working on 0.18... I just added a switch that disable that functionality on 0.17. Try updating the BIM workbench, it should work now

Hi to all
I kindly ask if I'm doing a mistake when I draw a steel structure using the Arch Structure tool or there is a bug in Freecad. If I use steel profiles for columns (IPE or any kind of those which are available in the library) it correctly works, when I draw a beam, something strange happens: with rectangular sections the beam is correctly modelled from a first point to the second while a steel profile beam appears as a column (vertical and not horizontal) placed in the starting point. I've discovered that in this tutorial the steel beam was differently modelled; is it the only way using the Arch Structure Tool or have I made something wrong?
Thanking in advance for your answer
Happy Easter to everyone

I just stumbled on this problem too, drawing beams seems a bit broken... Will fix that ASAP!
