建筑模块
简介
建筑工作台为FreeCAD提供了一种现代化的建筑信息模型(building information modelling) (BIM)工作流程,它支持的特性有完全参数化的建筑实体,如墙、结构构件、屋顶、窗口、台阶、管道与家具。建筑工作台还支持工业基础分类(industry foundation classes) (IFC) 数据,以及联合TechDraw工作台制作2D平面布置图。
由于建筑工作台要利用2D对象来构建其建筑对象,因此,它导入了底图工作台(Draft Workbench)中的所有工具。除此以外,建筑工作台亦可使用如零件工具台(Part)与零件设计工作台(PartDesign)所创建的对象。
FreeCAD中的BIM功能正逐步拆分至此建筑工作台中,它持有基本的建筑体工具与BIM Workbench,后者可以利用Addon Manager进行安装。本工作台在建筑工具(Arch tools)之上添加了一个新的接口层,目标是令FreeCAD中的BIM工作流程更为直观且更易于使用。
