OSArch - Open Source in AEC

#BonsaiBIM now shows layers! -- in both the scene and in drawings!--along with intelligent joining.

OSArch will soon be paying out the following funding campaign to @thinkMoult for his awesome contribution. If you feel like contributing one last donation we will keep this open for 5 more days, before pay out!

Again, OSArch - Open Source in AEC matches all donations.

🌟 OSArch: Git Platform 🌟

We’re launching two funding campaigns to create a shared platform for open collaboration in AEC—hosting BIM (IFC) libraries, supporting tool development, and empowering open-source workflows.

Help us migrate and sustain this platform under OSArch's governance:

Fund the migration: https://opencollective.com/osarch/projects/hub_osarch_migration
Support monthly expenses: https://opencollective.com/osarch/projects/hub_osarch_monthly_expenses
#OpenBIM #NativeIFC

Just a heads up. On the following 'bounty', we'll need to push the current funds ($1,852.46 USD) back to the general OSArch pool after November 13, 2024--As there hasn't been any takers on this issue for a year, at that point.

Please forward this on to anyone that might be interested.

#BonsaiBIM #IfcOpenShell #Blender #NativeIFC

This funding campaign is rooted in a Thank You--a thank you to (@Andrej730) for his work on #IfcOpenShell and #BlenderBIM.

@Andrej730's work is currently funded through IfcOpenShell's Open Collective platform.

This campaign can be considered a well deserved bonus over and above these funds.

Go to the following to help fund:

Per OSArch's funding campaigns for every dollar this campaign pulls in OSArch will match with their general funds.

Want to see wall/floor layers in #BlenderBIM and #FreeCAD

Help fund the project here: https://opencollective.com/osarch/projects/visualize_layers_in_blenderbim

For every dollar raised, #OSArch will match that dollar from their general funding pool.

For a job well done, the #OSArch steering committee has decided to pay @brunopostle out the $465.70, for his awesome work on the GIT/IFC project!

Per his wishes, he is contributing $300 to #IFCOpenShell's and #BlenderBIM's open collective account and the remaining to @yorik for his work with #FreeCAD and #NativeIFC.

Also a big thank you to all the funders of this project, as well!

#OpenBIM anyone? For our page explaining OpenBIM I've just added a link under 'External References' to a #buildingSMART presentation. Maybe check it out - maybe improve the page - maybe share it with others. #BIM #IFC #IDS #BCF

@thinkMoult posts that don't mention #osarch don't always get on the osarch accounts radar. Shame I never boosted all these release posts.

Some thoughts on #aec, #libresoftware #opensourcesoftware, #osarch and why you (and maybe your boss) should support #OSArch. Our friends @duncan_lithgow & Petru Conduraru from #BIMvoice just having a chat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5De8AHZkPY

Go #OpenBIM. Go #OpenSource. Really amazing technical interview about data schemas and geometry by Thomas Krijnen and Petru Conduraru of the #BIMVoice podcast discussing #IfcOpenShell and #FreeSoftware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B4_oWCsZ2A

The most active project at #osarch is #BlenderBIM - and it's time for a new release. Congrats to the whole team and the great stewardship of
@thinkMoult

Our friends over at #speckle have a brand new viewer rewritten with the 2.9 release. With a brand new viewer, comes a brand new feature: Shadows☂. Go to http://speckle.xyz and try it yourself.

Part of our mission at #OSArch is bringing people together & sharing knowledge about #opensource for #aec. Read about the latest improvement to our wiki and subscribe to our newsletter https://osarch.org/2022/07/29/news-from-the-osarch-wiki/

"Which IFC class should I use?" is a great resource fro mthe #blenderbim website if you're working with #buildingsmart #IFC and not sure which class is right for your object. Check it out!

#Paraview is #opensourcesoftware! It's integrated into many other projects and can be used with FreeCAD and LadyBug Tools as well as many other.

Supporting companies like Kitware Europe supports their contributions to open source technologies.

Blender Add-ons useful for #aec #architecture #engineering projects. I just added #prj which produces svg/dxf/dwg drawings from @Blender scenes. https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Category:Blender_Add-on

Time to talk #BlenderBIM? Here's your chance. #osarch is hosting an informal chat for exchanging experiences with BlenderBIM bringing more #opensource & #libresoftware to #aectech

This will be hosted by @theoryshaw founder of @Opening_Design
