_Under heavy development!_
Let's use Blender to create BIM models, because why not?
## Features
- IFC4 is a first-class citizen. IFC4 has been an ISO standard since 2013, with
the latest published in 2018. In contrast, other programs are dragging their
feet with IFC2X3, published back in 2005.
- Use Blender to do digital modeling! Blender is an amazing open-source
software that supports the full 3D content creation pipeline that the CG
industry uses. Don't let your designs fall short just because your modeling
tool isn't good enough!
- Create complex spatial structures with multiple sites, buildings, facilities,
bridges, and building parts. In contrast, some BIM tools (uh, Revit?) don't
even allow you to specify buildings.
- Classify any geometry as any IFC type. Just because it is a wall doesn't
mean you should be limited to modeling it in a certain way. Easily change
from one type to another without damaging your geometry.
- Allow BIM objects to instance a shared geometric representations. This allows
you to place the same shape in multiple objects without drastically
increasing your filesize.
- Provide a custom value to any simple IFC attribute of an IFC product.
- Create product types that regular IFC products can inherit attributes from.
- Define your own property sets with control over exactly how the data in the
property sets are stored.
