Parametric Geometry
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
The BlenderBIM Add-on provides tools for creating and editing parametric geometry for IFC elements.
|
||||
Parametric geometry allows you to define building elements using parameters that can be easily adjusted, rather than modeling fixed geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
Key features of the parametric geometry system include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Predefined parametric types for common building elements like walls, windows, doors, slabs, etc.
|
||||
- Custom parametric types that can be created and saved
|
||||
- Parameters for dimensions, materials, profiles, and other properties
|
||||
- Automatic updating of geometry when parameters are changed
|
||||
- IFC-compliant parametric definitions that can be exchanged with other applications
|
||||
|
||||
To work with parametric geometry:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select an IFC element in the 3D viewport
|
||||
2. Open the Geometric Relationships panel in the Scene Properties
|
||||
3. Expand the Parametric Geometry section
|
||||
4. Choose a parametric type from the dropdown or create a custom type
|
||||
5. Adjust the available parameters to define the element's geometry
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters may include options like:
|
||||
|
||||
- Overall dimensions (width, height, length)
|
||||
- Material layers and thicknesses
|
||||
- Profiles for extrusions
|
||||
- Opening sizes and positions
|
||||
- Component offsets and angles
|
||||
|
||||
The geometry will update in real-time as parameters are adjusted.
|
||||
The parametric definition is stored in the IFC data and can be exchanged with other applications that support parametric IFC.
|
||||
|
||||
Some elements like windows and doors have additional specialized parametric options in their respective tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Parametric geometry allows for efficient modeling and updating of BIM elements while maintaining IFC compatibility.
|
||||
Experiment with the available options to find parametric workflows that suit your modeling needs.
