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.
Usage
- 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 Type property set to "Building". You can convert any BuildingPart to a Building simply by changing its IFC Type.
- 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.
Properties
- DataBuilding Type: The type of this building, to choose from a list
Scripting
See also: Arch API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
The Building tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:
Building = makeBuilding(objectslist=None, baseobj=None, name="Building")
- Creates a
Building
object fromobjectslist
, which is a list of objects, orbaseobj
, which is aShape
.
Example:
import FreeCAD, Draft, Arch
p1 = FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = FreeCAD.Vector(2000, 0, 0)
baseline = Draft.makeLine(p1, p2)
baseline2 = Draft.makeLine(p1, -1*p2)
Wall1 = Arch.makeWall(baseline, length=None, width=150, height=2000)
Wall2 = Arch.makeWall(baseline2, length=None, width=150, height=1800)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Building = Arch.makeBuilding([Wall1, Wall2])
Site = Arch.makeSite(Building)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
