Now I downloaded the last 8 version and the BIM workbench seems to be working fine. The version I started with (0.17.something) didn't allow me to use the BIM workbench, it was always crashing. That being said, could someone help with a another method, that fits the software better than my own? I'm just at the beginning of the tutorial and it feels already as counterproductive method. An example is the walls added to each other and the mess that it creates in the combo view. Unfortunately, it seems to me that my organization is not good for FreeCAD. Is the way I work with other BIM softwares and it seems to me that a proper organization makes it easier to get back to these projects after a while, as well as sending them to other people to continue the work. As you can see on the print screen attached to this post, I tried to organize all elements since the beginning. Is there a reason for, in these tutorials, instead of just creating walls directly in the model with the arch wall tool, to use draft objects as a first step? I just ask because it seems double work.Īnother question is the Combo View organization. That being said, the tutorial suggests that we use lines, and in some videos on Youtube, wires and polygons, like in Sketchup. Now, I know the tutorial recommends that we shouldn't add to much stuff to each other in order to avoid unnecessary complexity, but since it is also a BIM app, shouldn't complexity be part of it? I mean, shouldn't walls, if not adding to one another, at least merge directly to each other, like in Revit for example?Īlso, I see that we can model directly with walls, instead of lines, wires or polygons. At first, they were all disappearing now, not even that. I need to subtract a volume because some walls intersect a small slab, and when I do it, nothing happens. This second time, by distraction, I added walls to each other and now I got stuck. The snaps seemed random, but thanks to Regis tutorials on Youtube (cheers mate!!) I started over, using the snaps correctly (almost). If not, I hope we can keep this post open for further questions about the software's workflow, best practices in Architecture and BIM and other issues.Īt first, I didn't understand correctly the snapping tools. If this set of questions was already answered, sorry for the unnecessary spam and please redirect me. I started working with FreeCAD a few weeks ago, using the Architectural Tutorial (thanks Yorik, great tutorial with an architectural classic). I'm an architect, experienced with CAD and BIM for several years. First things first, I think the software is pretty impressive and it promises a lot.
