Hi Justas,

Hi Justas,

Sounds an interesting venture, and wish you luck achieving your goals. For mechanical design projects, blender is not really suitable. However, from my bit of experience with BIM so far as a student, it does seem achievable using blender although Feature and Object based modelling from what I gather is not central to Blender architecture.

Also @yorik, I will have to look at your Arch module again - I've only had a play since the start of my group project and now it's reaching the end. Revit was interesting to use as a beginner, but there is so much bloat, that at times it's impossible to use and especially cumbersome when trying to change wall positions.

From my experience so far with BIM, one it's weaknesses is program inter-operability - if you export to gbXML or ifc and the walls are not correct it will simply not play ball and has made my life hell FreeCAD looks in a better position having the strengths of parametric modelling built-in
