Description
The Arch Building is a special type of FreeCAD group object particularly suited for representing a whole building unit. They are mostly used to organize your model, by containing floor objects.
How to use
- Optionally, select one or more objects to be included in your new building.
- Press the Arch Building button, or press the B then U keys.
Options
- Starting from FreeCAD version 0.18, the Building object is actually a BuildingPart with its DataIFC role property set to "Building". You can convert any BuildingPart to a Building simply by changing its IFC role.
- After creating a building, you can add more objects to it by drag and dropping them in the Tree View or by using the Arch Add tool.
- You can remove objects from a building by drag and dropping them out of it the Tree View or by using the Arch Remove tool.
