Seeking documented cases of Bonsai as primary BIM tool in commercial projects. Interested in:

Real commercial implementations (not test cases)
Projects with openBIM requirements
Performance in 2D architectural deliverables

Looking beyond webinars/LinkedIn to understand practical day-to-day documentation vs traditional BIM tools. Has anyone successfully transitioned to Bonsai in commercial practice? 🙏🏻 #openSource #IFC #bonsaiBIM #bonsai #blenderBIM

The world would be a better place with more open and transparent #software. That’s why we want to move towards using more #opensource software in our design workflows. But we need help! If you know #BlenderBIM, #sverchok and/or #freecad reach out to us if you’re interested.

@thinkMoult I was not aware of the final decision regarding name: BonsaiBIM, right? Cool, one. https://pin.it/6C9Z1AjHy

Having been active in the BonsaiBIM.org (formally BlenderBIM) & OSArch.org communities for many years, I can tell you that the blood, sweat, and tears on this release was palpable.

I know the core developers sacrificed a lot of their time to root out a lot of elusive and temperamental bugs.

It just feels like an ideal time to show our appreciation.

In that light, if this software is useful to you in your daily production, please consider funding further development.

@theoryshaw thanks for the reminder to do this!

@thinkMoult

Thanks a lot, Moult and the BonsaiBIM team! I am checking out the new features of Bonsai v0.8.0.

In the release notes there's an animated GIF of a fancy new wall polyline tool, but I can't find it...

How can I activate the wall polyline tool?

#bonsaiBIM #blender3d

@joakimdahl with the wall tool activated, shift P. it's still new and undergoing changes so please help report any bugs you find!

@thinkMoult

Thanks!

I'll get back to you when I find something to report.
