Take advantage of closed BIM with Freecad open BIM

Post by thomas-neemann »

the advantage of closed bim is the certainty that the geometry and properties are guaranteed to be the same and correct for everyone involved in the construction. there are no conversion errors or interface errors. with freecad, the frecad version used can be sent together with the files. if a recipient needs a different format, he can create it himself with freecad and check himself that everything is error-free.

Yes, the ability to distribute the application together with your files is one of the fundamentals of the free software movement. This guarantees compatibility much better than anything else...
