建筑模块
简介
建筑工作台为FreeCAD提供了一种现代化的建筑信息模型(building information modelling) (BIM)工作流程,它支持的特性有完全参数化的建筑实体,如墙、结构构件、屋顶、窗口、台阶、管道与家具。建筑工作台还支持建筑业国际工业标准(industry foundation classes) (IFC) 数据,以及联合TechDraw工作台制作2D平面布置图。
由于建筑工作台要利用2D对象来构建其建筑对象,因此,它导入了底图工作台(Draft Workbench)中的所有工具。除此以外,建筑工作台亦可使用如零件工具台(Part)与零件设计工作台(PartDesign)所创建的对象。
FreeCAD中的BIM功能正逐步拆分至此建筑工作台中,它持有基本的建筑体工具与BIM Workbench,后者可以利用Addon Manager进行安装。本工作台在建筑工具(Arch tools)之上添加了一个新的接口层,目标是令FreeCAD中的BIM工作流程更为直观且更易于使用。
The developers of Draft, Arch, and BIM also collaborate with the greater OSArch community, with the ultimate goal of improving building design by using entirely free software.
