Short #FreeCAD development update! Been working on a new feature that allows you to highlight drafting objects and move / transform individual vertices or edges.

This is in contrast to #Revit, which doesn't know what a vertex is, and doesn't allow you to use a single profile to edit multiple objects. (In fact, the axis profile for a Revit wall is completely invisible!)

This is a step forward for #opensource #BIM.

I've written an article about how to parse #opensource #architecture #BIM #IFC files using #IfcOpenShell and Python. It shows some code examples on how to access things like attribute data, IFC types, property sets, quantities, and geometry.

If you use #FreeCAD and are an architect, or work in the architecture / engineering / construction industry, please promote the use of IFC as an open-data format!
