Other add-ons
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Blender has a large ecosystem of add-ons. The BlenderBIM Add-on is one of many
|
|
add-ons which provide utility to the architecture, engineering, and construction
|
|
industry.
|
|
|
|
Some of these add-ons come with Blender and merely need to be enabled in the
|
|
``Edit > Preferences > Add-ons`` tab.
|
|
|
|
- **Sun Position** - will allow you to set the correct location of the sun and
|
|
true north. Integrates with IFC4 georeferencing features in the BlenderBIM
|
|
Add-on.
|
|
- **AutoCAD DXF Format (.dxf)** - provides import and export support of the DXF
|
|
format in Blender.
|
|
- **tinyCAD Mesh tools** - provides basic intersection and circle reconstruction
|
|
utilities similar to trim / extend / centroid tools in CAD tools.
|
|
|
|
Some of these add-ons are not shipped with Blender:
|
|
|
|
- `CAD Transform for Blender <https://gumroad.com/l/nqvcs>`__ - This will
|
|
provide CAD snapping, move, rotate, and scale functions in Blender. This is
|
|
highly recommended for precision modeling in Blender.
|
|
- `Blender Archipack <https://blender-archipack.org/>`__ - Archipack lets you
|
|
create parametric architectural objects, like walls, floors, ceilings, doors,
|
|
roofs, and furniture with a single click from a preset templates. It
|
|
integrates with the BlenderBIM Add-on, so you have the choice to combine both
|
|
parametric and modeling by hand.
|
|
- `Sverchok <https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok/>`__ - Sverchok is a visual
|
|
programming add-on for Blender that allows you to generate parametric
|
|
geometry, create scripts for non-programmers, model solids from FreeCAD, and
|
|
much more.
|
|
- `BlenderGIS <https://github.com/domlysz/BlenderGIS>`__ - BlenderGIS lets you
|
|
import GIS data, grab elevation data from the web, and generate TINs from
|
|
survey points and contours.
|
|
- `Ladybug Tools for Blender
|
|
<https://blenderbim.org/builds/ladybug-blender-220127.zip>`__ - Ladybug Tools
|
|
is an extension of Sverchok for environmental analysis and building physics
|
|
simulation. It allows analysis of solar, daylight, energy, and CFD.
|
|
- `Topologic <https://topologic.app/>`__ - Perform spatial and topological
|
|
analysis of simplified building geometry and space connectivity.
|
|
- `Speckle Blender <https://speckle.systems/tag/blender/>`__ - Use Speckle to
|
|
get your designs in Blender from other CAD software.
|
|
- `Point Cloud Visualizer <https://blendermarket.com/products/pcv>`__ - Display,
|
|
edit, filter, render, convert, generate and export colored point cloud PLY
|
|
files.
|
|
- `MeasureIt_ARCH <https://github.com/kevancress/MeasureIt_ARCH>`__ - Simple
|
|
dimensioning and annotation tools in Blender.
|
|
- `Sorcar <https://aachman98.itch.io/sorcar>`__ - Another visual node
|
|
programming alternative to Sverchok.
