@duncan_lithgow @petrisch yes, currently IFC does not support parametric relationships very well. However, this is a relatively simple fix. First, supply both native and IFC , where native is FOSS like Blender or FreeCAD, and then establish an unofficial pset to hold parametric data which Blender and FreeCAD supports. Later when parametrics come into the spec, we swap the pset out.
@petrisch @duncan_lithgow We actually already have Git working as a "BIM server" or CDE on a small scale with the OpeningDesign arch studio :) This is completely decentralised!
With Git LFS, I believe this can be scaled, and I am actively trying this out.
Archipack now supports splitting and merging walls!
This is an incredibly important feature for #OpenBIM - people split and merge walls every day!
Wir haben einen Meilenstein erreicht: die CDU fordert, dass mit öffentlichen Geldern entwickelte Software als #FreieSoftware allen Zugute kommen soll. #publiccode : https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20191125-01.de.html @fsfe #nt
Feeling a little visionary today, wouldn't it be nice if we had a dezentralised network of BIM providers?
There are a lot of BIM hosters around, but:
- You rely completely on them.
- If they are just providing a link, then you have to opt-in.
- None of them will ever be complete.
Wouldn't it be intresting for companies to participate on a network, where they can be the hoster? Something like the Fediverse, BIMiverse in this case.
phosh 0.1.4 is out: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/tags/v0.1.4
Mostly to fix the pureos amber build but it also fixes window titles in the overview.
Redesigning efforts underway at https://blenderbim.org/ - more mobile friendly and a few new articles!
My print of one of the latest creations by @davidrevoy arrived today! Looks absolutely amazing. 😍 🎉 Thank you for your great art!

Still time for people to run for the #openstreetmap foundation board. At the moment I don't see any women. Makes me sad as the only women to go through a full term (I've been here for 2 full ones). https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/AGM19/Election_to_Board#Candidates

Are you in the AEC industry and looking to quit Autodesk? Check out #Blender #BIM!
New tools include BIMTester - run unit tests for your BIM models! New UI for georeferencing, attributes, property sets, offering first-class native support for IFC that _no_ other proprietary tool offers!
Check it out and share with other #architecture folks!
Its a bit ridiculous how for flights there are hundreds of websites that will book your whole journey automatically to the lowest price across hundreds of companies. But for trains it is a mess of having to use multiple local websites and no idea why one connection ticket is hundreds of euros more expensive than the other.
Make flights more expensive so trains can compete! Or the other way around 🙄
