![]() ![]() Stephen, who develops Archipack, is a capable developer and it would be a good idea to collaborate.Īs mentioned above, Blender itself technically can run on mobile (it’s a cool party trick!), but feels limited on a touchscreen and a slower processor. I will perhaps add a configuration to reorganise the tree in different ways later. It is extremely important to solve this, as currently we are again faced with proprietary software should we want to do 2D - There is no “correct form” for this - it is purely a convention - data for predefined types and tags are stored elsewhere, and only the IfcClass and Name is shown in the outliner tree for brevity. with annotations, dimensions, symbols, schedules, and sheets) though this is on the to-do list. None are yet up to the task of construction documentation, (i.e. At the moment, there is an experimental script that does section cuts, there are also 3D dimensioning and labeling tools, and IfcOpenShell also has some experimental SVG conversions.BlenderBIM and Archipack can be used together, or each standalone - they complement each other: BlenderBIM focusing on OpenBIM data, and Archipack focusing on geometry. Archipack is separate to BlenderBIM, and revolves around “domain-specific modeling”, essentially parametrically generating geometry that is frequently used in the architectural domain. ![]() It is also part of IfcOpenShell, which contains a growing suite of tools to read and write IFCs, do MVD checking, IFC QA, visualisation, COBie, IFC/SVG/OBJ/DAE/etc file conversion, 3DS Max, and more - all of which are free and open-source software. ![]() BlenderBIM is an addon to Blender that allows IFC reading and writing into Blender, as well as the necessary UI to assign, audit, and manipulate BIM data within the 3D interface.This goes for any authoring tool, not just Blender. A better approach would be to have a dedicated viewing software for the IFC file on your mobile device, tailored towards a specific task. However, practically Blender is a fully fledged authoring program for industry-grade workflows - for the purposes of authoring, a touchscreen input will allow you to navigate, but you will have a poor authoring experience. I have known people to do it, and I myself have run it on Android on my phone (yes, even rendering in real-time). (Sorry for the compressed laggy you queries: The little video below shows how easy it is to add and assign native IFC data. This is very important for consultants providing IFC files to make sure they play nice with their GlobalIds. The importer has been merged with the exporter and packaged as a single package to make it easy to install.Ī new article explaining the GlobalId attribute has been added: IFC import has been somewhat rewritten in preparation to start supporting the ability to import this data too, not just geometry and basic materials and ID.New UI to assign externally defined materials - more on how this allows people to create incredibly detailed CG rendering workflows soon!.New UI to explicitly assign how swept solids are represented, to make it easy to round trip with Revit.It audits your BIM file to customised rules, and generates HTML reports! New BIMTester tool is now packaged and available for Windows.To my knowledge no other BIM authoring tool supports this feature! Now supports assigning surface colours directly to object representations via styled items, as well as assigning surface colours via materials - and as the user, you have the choice which way you want to do it.Bugfixes for importing, assigning classes, and roundtripping geometry with Revit (Revit seems to expect normalised direction vectors, even though the IFC spec doesn’t require this).New quick project setup button to add site / building / storeys.New UI for adding / removing property sets (and you can set them in bulk!).New UI for adding in attributes, with drop down selection of possible attributes taken from the spec.Custom psets are now supported - it can also support complex data types and you can load in your own pset templates too!. ![]()
