Hi,

Another Video posted showing the visualization of the critical path:

Yes, I tried to follow the IFC model (but it was a little different because I'm a rebel ... :) )

@Moult, when you can give me attention (I imagine you must be very busy), I would like your help in trying to implement IfcProcess, as was done for IfcProduct. There is no rush and I thank you in advance.

Greetings.

Hi all,

For those who want to test, follow the code.

Prerequisites
- FreeCAD version >= 0.19-23141
- dateutil

Greetings.

Thanks @lalberts, I didn't know about this thread. I will post there too.
From what I saw in OSArch the discussion of 4D / 5D in BlenderBIM is more advanced.
https://community.osarch.org/discussion ... -engineers
https://community.osarch.org/discussion ... management

Now that I know a little more about the BlenderBIM Add-on I am confused about the future of this WB.
According to @Moult in https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=50786 : '... The focus of the BlenderBIM Add-on is on BIM and data, not geometry ...'
4D / 5D is basically data without geometry (although my proposal to use more dimensions in Gantt needs some 3D geometry, this is not essential), so it is natural that this is done in BlenderBIM and not as a FreeCAD WB.
I know little about Blender and I don't know if it would be possible to take advantage of the code I made for it, so I don't know whether to advance here or start again in BlenderBIM.
I would not like to do a lot of work and this cannot be used in both environments.

I need the help of the BlenderBIM and FC ninjas to decide.

Hi Lukas,

Did you test this WB? Was it helpful for you?
I am now trying to refactor and expand to do this. Progress will be reported here and at https://community.osarch.org/discussion ... -engineers.

Any suggestion?

Sorry for not being of much help here.. I am reading the forums here and there, and from time to time give my 2 cents.
I am really not warm with the handling of FreeCAD.. I downloaded it numerous times.. probably already in v0.14..long time ago.. and I until now always failed to get used to it.. so testing a WB !!
Same for Blender/BlenderBIM..
I feel these are the tools for OpenSource CAD. they need to be complementary.. and Gantt/ProjectMangement Tools can be good for both..so something both can handle would be perfect.
But only Yorick and Moult (and some others here and on OSArch) can help you now..
BlenderBIM 2.0 (or whatever the rewritten code is named) is agnostic to Blender and FreeCAD..so should be the way to go.
At some time, it will have to get a new name.. delivered from the Blender brand..
Do not know if FreeCAD has some PLM, ERP Workbenches in sight.. probably.
I believe the naming topology inside FreeCAD is still not solved (despite Realthunder proposal). The FreeCAD File system/standard is going to be determinant then also for your efforts.
So back to what I still do not understand well: the graph/semantic/ontology stuff with its database and editor apps..

I also spent some time lazy with FreeCAD but version 0.19 surprised me. Please give it a try, and try again ... ;)

This WB was an attempt to learn more about FreeCAD and IFC, and is extremely experimental. The discussion about something more appropriate for the 2 software is just beginning in https://community.osarch.org/discussion ... gineers/p2 (and I hope to be able to make my small contribution with what little I know :) )

I don't know if there is any initiative in this regard.

I'm not a software engineer, I'm just an old civil engineer learning, so forgive me if these concepts are 'aliens' to me. :D

For those interested and not following the OSArch forums, a recent tech demo was presented on the latest costing and scheduling features. Here is the link: https://community.osarch.org/discussion ... mment_7334

The code is native IFC and agnostic of Blender and can be reused in FreeCAD. I think we also need a deeper conversation about whether FreeCAD wants to investigate native IFC.
I also blog about 3D rendering, architecture, software and other on thinkMoult.com. RSS / Atom feed available for your convenience.
