Goal of this document
Try to investigate:
- a parallel workflow in FreeCAD and BlenderBIM
- make a detailed ifc4 model both Freecad and BlenderBim
- produce documentation from both
Currently this document is WORK in Progress . Participation is always welcome.
Project description
Creating a simple freestanding annex to a country summerhouse.
Existing and proposed
Functional requirements
Designed as three (possibly Four) adjoining 'buildings', from left to right in below images and sketches.
- One (Leftmost)
- Kids playhouse with elevated 'bedroom'
- Second
- Sanitary
- Third
- bedroom
- Fourth
- Eavaluating
- Maybe be Storing of firewood and Garden Utensils
Initial Sketches
Modeling approach
This is a minor project, but large enough to investigate and document different approaches.
Some main initial thoughts
Project should
- Use OpenBIM, IFC4
- Validated
- Geo-located
- Models
- Documentation
- Produce qty Takeoff
Divide project files by discipline
- Landscape
- Terrain
- Structural
- Architectural
- MEP
- Mechanical
- Electrical
- Plumbing
- Interior

Blender Tips
Linked Models
In order to produce a multidisciplinary approach, containing several model. Model should for BIM purposes be linked, not appended
The steps are the same as appending: File > Link or Ctrl+Alt+O, find the .blend file to link from, then select the element you wish to link, and click Link from Library in the top right.
As a resource: there is an excellent explanation on - Jason's Blog
