Great insight in open standards, IFC and BlenderBIM, thank you for this guys! Let's keep spreading the word, and let's work together to build our own tools.

For the digital supply chain flow there’s a necessity to additionally map the basic model hierarchy nodes to the classification levels. For our geographic location it’ll be CCI.
Very true, have tried them and used Vectorworks at a previous office I've worked in. Yet Vectorworks BIM is a bit like Autocad Architecture, where users used to drafting tend to draft instead of utilise some of the bim tools. Also, I meant it more towards an open BIM software, if it were to be developed now, or perhaps as part of BlenderBIM, or as an improvement to Freecad. Appreciate your engagement!
@@UHStudio not anymore. Now it’s a full-fledged BIM software, after great improvements in the last 4 years, when many internal developers were available after completing the full Parasolid engine implementation.
@@UHStudio MVDs lose meaning when IFC is used a native format. The closest MVD would in theory be "Design Transfer View" but even then, MVDs have been slowly losing relevance and being phased out by buildingSMART because they are realising that IFC is maturing past the first stage of vendor integration where MVDs were a way to limit scope, to a pure native AEC database.
I see MVD as a targeted export. Every information bit too much is pure waste in lean methodology. That’s why i wonder what export customisation is available when not using MVD?
As for solids vs meshes, i think terrain models work way better with solids (also for automatic cut’n fill calculations, also regarding materials’ assignments, as for walls or slabs in the building). How about these calculations in BlenderBIM?
I believe IFC OpenShell converts meshes to solids if they are simple parametric models like extrusions. As for terrains, my understanding is that even Revit meshes them when points are moved around (at least from my personal experience it seems so).
@@UHStudio i don’t use Revit, actually i never did use any software from Autodesk, so the references say nothing to me. But a convertion to solid looks great 😊in Vectorworks terrains are not extrusions, but a special solid element with mesh-like editions (pulling vertex individually or in groups to model terrain specifics)
@@robertszczepaniak8553 The BlenderBIM Add-on allows you to preserve representations, and offers simple editing in various types and basic conversion / reconstruction. So for example for certain solids, you can add boolean cuts and openings in Blender and it'll stay as a solid. Alternatively you can convert it to a mesh. Or, you can take a mesh, and convert it back into a solid. There are quite a few approaches available :)
I am really not familiar with most aspects beyond the design phase, but have you checked the IFC schema if it includes it? A quick search on the buildingsmart provides some results: ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/search?query=target+cost+monitoring
@@UHStudio thanks for the tip. I’ll really have to check the scheme. Btw, Dion said a great thing: BIM is virtual, but our reality is not. That’s why mu focus is lean construction, where the planning is unified with production, again, since being split by Taylor in the beginning of the 20. century.
@@robertszczepaniak8553 It's possible and I've done it from personal experience, but not very well fleshed out right now so don't expect much vendor support.

To moderator: 59:50 there are such softwares, apart from Revit, eg. Vectorworks, with amazing 2D, DWG or the whole BIM stuff functionalities

Dion ! a guy who also happens to follow the ways of the Penguin! Linux user here! best regards! I believe Linux has potential in the AEC Industry!
Indeed it does, but for wider audience it could be more about the building data than the actual design?
@@UHStudio Totally Agree!
When IFC is a native format in BlenderBIM, what MVD options are available for export (saving?)?
Might be good to ask this question over at commmunity.osarch.org where more technically adept users can give you an answer

Target Cost monitoring (TVD) in IFC would be great, too…

Do we have to do it in Revit? Do we? :D
Hehe, yes!
@30:17 It is really a joke nowadays to pay a lot of money just to draw a wall! Take my Pencil! Draw a wall now! ! 🤣
yep!
Donuts….buildings….. I.f.c?
