The @FreeCADNews Project Association has a grant program for developers, but they want to improve it. So they asked me to research best practices and come up with actionable recommendations. That research is now public blog.freecad.org/2023/09/28/…

In @Cogito project, we use openBIM (#ifc, #ids) to prepare BIM models for #digitaltwinning #construction projects (delivery phase). This article covers our data ingestion and shows how we make great use of @OSArchOrg's @BlenderBIM tinyurl.com/5ysf498p

Honoured and excited to receive this grant for further integration of BIM and GIS visualization Interoperability and long-term data usage are recurring themes in my work. This grant supports next steps for a powerful @CesiumJS + ifcopenshell integration! xitter.cf/CesiumJS/status/168426…
Congratulations to the latest Cesium Ecosystem Grant recipients! We're excited to support the Spatial Opportunity Lab at @wentworthinst; @jasonbeverage for Cesium Native into @osgearth; and @aothms's IFC Tiling Pipeline. Learn more: bit.ly/3KgSbmr

Yes. Go #OpenBIM. Go #OpenSource. Did you know that #FreeSoftware #IfcOpenShell can create geometry trees? A geometry tree lets you efficiently select objects by XYZ coordinates or bounding boxes. Read more here blenderbim.org/docs-python/i…

Yes. Go #OpenBIM. Go #OpenSource. Did you know that the #FreeSoftware #IfcOpenShell lets you either import, export, change version, or reserialise IFC data to dozens of formats? Work with #NativeIFC through #JSON, #DataFrames, #SQLite, and more.

Thrilled to have contributed to the major update of the @buildingSMARTIn Validation Service! It's rewarding to see our efforts come to fruition 🏗️🏡
validate.buildingsmart.org just received a major update Validates your models wrt: - syntax - schema (incl where rules and functions) - additional rules - consistency with bsdd Valid and reliable data is the cornerstone of our industry.

Yes. Go #OpenBIM. Go #OpenSource. Watch a short demo of #NativeIFC architectural modeling and drawing with the #BlenderBIM Add-on. Slowly getting closer to being able to replace proprietary BIM tools for small scale projects.

#Revit 2024 new feature list is probably as long as @BlenderBIM new commits on github from last week.

Over the past years, IFC has become geometrically more simple and explicit. IfcOpenShell, sitting on a heavy geometry kernel, was late to adapt to that. But here we are now, conversion time is decimated for explicit ReferenceView models. Read on below.

CGAL: Polyhedral format, no curved surfaces. Algorithms simpler due to exact number types. Number type is compile-time parametric. E.g arbitrarily precise binary trees of operands or machine native double (latter not robust for boolean operations; cgal-simple in IfcOpenShell).

There are a lot of questions in the performance diagram (minimal improvement in multi-threading as mostly IO bound in RV?). Why is cgal-simple actually slower in single threaded mode? But before diving deeper we first still need to do some housekeeping on the v0.8 branch.
