I love you

Could anyone explain please, how to export IFC with this add-on? When I open "IFC Project" and then import to it other IFCs - I can not export this project to *.ifc... The menu part is disabled... The only format I can export - FBX. BTW, bent parts loads into Blender deformed, like they been scaled...

Hi again, I managed to fix the spaces, but now I am having a problem with floors. Firstly there is no IFCslabs listed in my project and as I create one it is not editable the way you are teaching here. I cannot move the edges so I tried to extend them but the result seems to be wired and not reasonable.

Hi, thanks for this video. I added the spaces and saved the file and all was fine but next day i noticed that all my spaced are gone! Also last week i added furnitures usong blenderkit addon but that was missing after saving and reopening! This is really frustrating. Do tou know why?

please help - making progress, followed the instructions to the letter but when i load the .IFC library and unhide the 'eyecon', nothing happens - it remains inactive - i can see it, but i can't interact with it - is it me or is it a bug [Blender 4.2.1 LTS, Bonsai v0.8.0]

Thanks for the video. Firstly I am not so sure why my comments are missing here?! As I mentioned before, it seems that BlenderBim does not work for me! I am facing many problems over and over. As I save a project and reopen it, all my elements get screwed up. For example some of my walls get duplicated or some get shortened or even missing altogether! I am about to give this up altogether. For the last effort, I may pay for archipack add-on to see if it works better and if that is also problematic I am going to drop Blender altogether.

it's taken me an entire day of fn around with various addons (that are basically crap), to find something that will actually print dimensions onto paper, which it appears this can do - will get properly stuck in tomorrow, but at least i can relax for an hour before bed (it's 22h45 atm) - thanks so much for this 🇿🇦 ✊❤ 🇵🇸

this is all very well, but without the ability to dimension (e.g. better than Measure-it) and print dimensions (and alter them on the fly), this seems purely academic

Thanks for the video. However, I’m feeling quite frustrated with Blender right now. Simple tasks like drawing walls, windows, doors, and slabs-things that are easily done in CAD, ArchiCAD, and Revit-are becoming a hassle here. I’m new to Blender and initially managed to use the Archimesh add-on to create a floor plan and interiors, which was okay. But later, when I switched to BlenderBIM to access project-based options for creating views, cross-sections, details, etc., I started facing problems I managed to create a floor plan, but for days now, I've encountered multiple errors, and the program keeps crashing. Most of the doors don’t create openings or don’t even show up, as if they’re hidden inside walls without openings. In Archimesh, this is done automatically with the auto hole feature, but with BIM, I’m not sure how it works. Sometimes it works automatically, but other times it doesn’t seem possible at all. Today, I installed a newer version hoping for better results, but now I’m even struggling to draw walls! It’s really frustrating. I’m considering if Archipack might be a better option. It’s not free, but maybe it’s worth paying for it instead of constantly dealing with these issues in BIM. Can Archipack create full design drawings?

I don't see IFC array under modifiers in 4.2. Is it elsewhere?

Thank you for all the work you do! I work in archviz and I am learning bonsai and BIM modeling just because I am so fascinated by the work you've done. I would have never thought BIM modeling would be possible in blender, and to such a great extent! Have you considered making a discord server for discussion and questions perhaps?

Why I can't see the option "calculate svgfill surfaces" anymore?

Hi great tutorial but i think you would need a very new video for this as i was trying to follow but everything is changed, would love to see the new tutorial on this thanks

Thanks for the video. I have a question that I haven't been able to solve: if I import an IFC file from another software to render in Blender, is it possible to update the file without losing all the work I've already done with the materials?

Hi Any example Construction docs we can download to have a look at. I Totally love blender. But I use revit professionally, as the end product for me is not about visualization, but being able to hand over architectural drawings for others to use.

Offsets for panels - be good if you can enter formula so they adjust on the fly - ie 1/3 o/all height. etc

Why does it use capitals for name? Is that an IFC defined thing? I find naming conventions frustrating and verbose? Often overflowing the available screen space. Think of a song "DIRE_STRAITS-WALK_OF_LIFE" I would name DireStraits.WalkOfLife and it would be easier to read. Especially on a phone. I use Autocad Architecture and often the naming was so long it went well past the reading space. Do you really need a door for left and right? They are essentially the same product.

I dreamed about this in Blender years ago. I use Autocad Architecture 2020 (got off the sub train) and will do until this gets mature. Looks fantastic so far. It's going to be a challenge to match Autocad's 2D drafting tools.

Fantastic update for blenderbim... and fantastic tutorial by Ifc Architect.... really very interesting!! I will soon create a tutorial in Italian on the modeling of a small series of terraced houses... all done with Blenderbim!!! ... !!!

I have been using blender for archviz at my office since 3 years now. I would love to see it become a proper architecture tool. Been following the developments and wish you guys all the very best. Haven't really found time to try it considering I am finally "fast" at normal blender now but can't wait to try it out soon.

It would really cool to got thru a complete project with Bonzai...from beginning to end. You think that can be a possible tutorial (or even a course) on that?

Hello, it would be possible to transform a wall that I modeled as a mesh into a ifc wall

Been following you ....waiting for Bonsai..Best wishes ahead, you are doing a great job.

Is BlenderBim, now Bonsai worth it for companies to use instead of Revit? Or for freelancers even?

Well done and thanks for all the effort. I'm really interested but I miss a tutorial teaching from start to finish how to develop a project in Bonsai. Thanks

Can I check how you place the cursor on the right place when you do Shift A or Shift E. It seem that the placement or mine not snap or spot on. What is the secret or the thing I did wrongly? Just start to learn this BlenderBim. TIA

I find it really exhausting to watch you select text and then read it aloud. I focus more on if you read it correct, than understanding the content and the updates. Really, I am half trough the video and must switch away as I cannot stand it... I mean, this is documentation that I can read through myself. You should reference the content and then show small or detailed examples to better explain the terminology. But don't read out the documentation 1:1. I can read it myself, I don't need a YT video for that 😉 So more "how does it work" instead of "what can it do".

Thank you for sharing. Will very much appreciated you share how to array window with boolean and material still intact. It looks like the array windows do not has boolean applied on its.

Great video! is it the same as Bonsai?

what a job, very grateful for these improvements, keep going..

I really don't get it. They improved everything except the core user experience. We can't even draw a wall the same way we draw a cube, we need to click buttons, input number do rotate, it is a nightmare to actually try and experience designing. Even android home modeling apps does good jobs on it. 😢

Woahhhh!!! this is that im waiting for.. the news about blenderbim. Thanks bro

Hi ! I'm in blender 4.2, and I can't use blenderBIM, I have a warning "Policy violation with sys.path :.libs\site\packages" I was using it before and I had no problem, but I did a fresh install for 4.2 and I can't get it to work :(

OK.. but as a bim.. where is door and window schedule?

It all seems awesome, but documentation still is very behind from what architects need, I haven`t seen any way to use hatchs or line weight without redrawing the whole thing.

I couldn`t find not even the creat project button. lol

now blender is moving fast Architects ands designers don't concentrate on application technicalities! blender add on can not install

i get error with installing blenderim and it says: "Warning: Policy violation with sys.path: .\libs\site\packages" . how do i resolve this?

3:00 Missing step, how to bring up the wall 90deg, changing of wall direction?

HI! Can I create a new wall type from a pre-created complex geometry?

Some kind of filter mode on annotation lines in types would be of great help. This with settings per Drawing enables a productive way of annotation lines. Who want to annotate 100 windows and doors by hand ?

for some reason adding windows and doors dos not create the opening on the walls. I'm using version 0.02406. Do I need to install an older version?

Excellent, I wonder what would be the tech to do the same thing with the new blenderBIM IU

Hello. It's impossible to creat a drawing. I'm a begginer with CAD. I started Freecad 3 month ago and it's always working like it should. Not quite the same thing with BlenderBim

Are you planning to make a new UI tutorial?, I just downloaded the 240602 version and I'm a little lost

🌟👍

Wow! I was just waiting for this to happen. With BlenderBIM, there is acctually no need to invest time or money in other software for an architect! One question - These libraries of furniture and other stuff - where do I find them? As I'm based in Sweden, the IKEA equivalent would be awesome :)
