Excited to launch a tutorial series for #Blender + #BonsaiBIM — built around a real-world pocket neighborhood project.

120+ concise, beginner-friendly videos (~4.5 min each) take you from modeling a simple cube to producing a clean construction drawing set.

Includes open libraries for entourage, materials, drawing standards & prefab modeling — no need to reinvent the wheel.

20% of revenue supports Bonsai / IfcOpenShell dev.

@brunopostle I think the conversion tool could be improved and packaged, and I am motivated to contribute to this nonetheless, if only to learn more of #IFC and #gbXML . It should be relevant, according to the thesis by MGVisschers. Maybe he has a good overview on the need for such a tool today, if he could be reached. Anybody activly working with #energymodeling should know. My guess is that proprietary #BIM tools has #gbXML export. Info could be inquired at #osarch .

PSA that the #OSArch (OSArch.org - community.OSArch.org) community forums has been under a DDoS attack for just over a day now. Anybody experienced with who can help provide some advice for a FOSS volunteer hosted site on the best way forward to stop this and in the future please send me a DM :) #opensource #openbim

Curious about the semantics of #Alignment geometry in #IFC? Read this beautiful article by Richard Brice on the #OSArch Wiki. https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=IFC_-_Industry_Foundation_Classes/IFC_alignment

Autodesk’s way of handling the IFC standard is helping nobody | Ondsel

Let’s talk about IFC and why Autodesk should take notes from emerging free and open-source tools for building information modeling (BIM) authoring.

Want to see wall/floor layers in #BlenderBIM and #FreeCAD

Help fund the project here: https://opencollective.com/osarch/projects/visualize_layers_in_blenderbim

For every dollar raised, #OSArch will match that dollar from their general funding pool.

Visualize (Wall/Floor) Layers in BlenderBIM/FreeCAD - Open Collective

To develop the ability to visualize the layers that make up a layered wall/slab/covering/etc in BlenderBIM/FreeCAD--on both the screen and printed svg
