All individual objects are easily searched and found, and can be named and grouped as you like, making the model extremely organizable, and maybe even more important, freely organizable (just like you decide how to organize your files and directories).I'm always surprised at how much this is difficult in many BIM applications, while in non-BIM 3D modelling apps (SketchUp, Blender, 3DSMAx.) it is absolutely normal You have very fine control over what to turn on or off, you can see your working plane in the 3D view, etc. The 3D view is comfortable enough to model directly in it.The parametric system of FreeCAD has become amazingly deep over the last year, and even if we don't have a visual programming interface like Dynamo or Grasshopper (yet!), the possibilities to plug one piece of data into another are wild.This allow you to import almost any kind of 3D data into FreeCAD and use it in BIM models It's basically a thin layer of semantics on top of your model, or in other words, "agnostic" objects become "building-meaningful". Anything you model can be made into a wall, a beam or anything else. You can use the wall tool to build a beam. Walls don't need to be made in a certain way. You are not forced to use the wall tool to build walls. But it is the bread and butter of FreeCAD Try modelling a car or a mouse or a cellphone in another BIM app.

No other BIM app as so many and so powerful modelling tools than FreeCAD (apart from Rhino maybe).

I do almost all my architecture projects with it nowadays, and in many areas it already does better than the commercial alternatives we all know of. Really at this point I consider that we begin to have a very stable and powerful open-source BIM solution. This year I really could spend quite a lot of hours working on FreeCAD and BIM tools, and I hope you'll agree with me that it rendered pretty decent results already.

Check the files there if you're interested! The end-of-year balance Most of the images shown in this report are from a project we are currently working on in the open with Ryan and Regis, with a pretty interesting FreeCAD/Revit workflow.

At some point in time I'll need to setup a special credits page for the BIM Workbench where you'll all appear! And if you aren't, join us! It's been a pretty amazing journey so far, as always, thanks so much to you who is sponsoring this effort by donating on my Patreon, LiberaPay or Paypal accounts. Finally to the last report about BIM development for FreeCAD for this year! This is already the 21st of these reports I'm writing (I'm keeping a copy of all of them on the wiki of the BIM workbench's github repo if you are interested).
