Excited to launch a tutorial series for #Blender + #BonsaiBIM — built around a real-world pocket neighborhood project.

120+ concise, beginner-friendly videos (~4.5 min each) take you from modeling a simple cube to producing a clean construction drawing set.

Includes open libraries for entourage, materials, drawing standards & prefab modeling — no need to reinvent the wheel.

20% of revenue supports Bonsai / IfcOpenShell dev.

🌟 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:

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.

So cool that a new user of @FreeCAD from #revit it's dealing so easily for the first time in a simple demo project with #Freecad 💪

Real #NativeIFC, #RealCAD #RealPARAMETRIC #CAD #realBIM with this cool #FOSS software, that every #engineer or #achitect should try to use for real professional work 👍

Register for #BIMForum #USA's free webinar tomorrow where we show you incredible demonstrations of what #NativeIFC can do and what #FreeSoftware can do! https://bimforum.org/event/ifc-show-and-tell-what-you-can-do-with-ifc-and-how-to-work-with-the-data/

I'll cover:

- The difference between traditional BIM, translated OpenBIM, and native IFC
- Demonstrations of what native IFC can do
- A deep dive into how IFC works under the hood
- Software demonstrations of how free software is changing the industry

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!
