BIM Workbench/de

Einleitung
Der BIM Arbeitsbereich ist eine externe Arbeitsbereiche mit dem Ziel, vollständige Building Information Modeling (BIM) Werkzeuge und Arbeitsabläufe in FreeCAD zu implementieren. Sie sieht derzeit sehr ähnlich wie der eingebaute Arch Arbeitsbereich aus. Die allgemeine Idee ist jedoch, als "Meta Werkbank" zu arbeiten und an einem Ort verschiedene Werkzeuge von anderen Arbeitsbereichen, die für BIM nützlich sind, zu sammeln und einen Arbeitsablauf zu schaffen, der sowohl für erfahrene BIM Anwender, die von anderer Software wie Revit oder ArchiCAD kommen, als auch für Neueinsteiger bequemer, einfacher und benutzerfreundlicher ist. Der BIM Arbeitsbereich bietet auch eine Reihe von eigenen Werkzeugen, bei denen es sich meist um Assistenten und Verwaltungswerkzeuge handelt, die sich unter dem Menü Verwaltung befinden.



Installieren
The BIM workbench is not bundled with the default FreeCAD package, but can easily be installed via the Addon Manager. Invoke the it from. The BIM workbench code is hosted and developed on github and can also be installed manually by copying it into FreeCAD's directory. The BIM workbench is a work in progress, and will change often. Be sure to update it regularly!

Getting started


Upon starting the BIM workbench for the first time, a welcome dialog is shown, giving a quick overview of how the workbench works, and allowing the user to start an in-game tutorial. The welcome dialog is also available from the help menu. When the welcome screen is closed by clicking OK, the BIM setup dialog will be shown, that allows the user to quickly set some of the most common BIM-related preferences of FreeCAD without the need to browse through the full FreeCAD preferences pages.

The BIM project setup tool allows you to quickly setup a BIM project by filling some basic information about your project. You can then, for example, use the different 2D drafting tools to sketch guidelines and baselines, then use the different 3D modeling tools to build 3D BIM objects on top of it.

If you are used to another BIM application, check our BIM application compatibility table to get your marks when starting with FreeCAD.

Tools
The BIM workbench gather tools from several other FreeCAD workbenches, mainly Draft, Arch and Part, roughly reorganized in logical categories: 2D drafting, 3D modeling, annotation and modification tools. The manage category contains tools that are specific to the BIM workbench.

Additionally, if such addons are installed, tools from Reinforcement (extra reinforcing bar tools), Fasteners (bolts and screws), Flamingo (metal structure and piping tools) and Parts Library are automatically included in the BIM workbench.

The BIM workbench also adds a series of items in the status bar of FreeCAD, and a couple of context menu items, accessible by right-clicking in the 3D view or in the tree view.

2D drafting
2D objects are commonly used as drafting aids, or to draw base lines and profiles to build BIM objects on. They can also be used to draw symbols and annotations in your model. Apart from sketches, that use their own coordinate system, 2D objects will be drawn on the current working plane.

Annotation
Annotations are visual help objects that can be placed inside your model. They can be used to export your model directly to a 2D format like DXF, or reused when creating 2D views of your model with the TechDraw Workbench.

External workbenches
FreeCAD workbenches are easy to program in Python, there are therefore many people developing additional workbenches outside of the FreeCAD main developers.

The external workbenches page has some information and tutorials on some of them, and the FreeCAD Addons project aims at gathering them and making them easily installable from within FreeCAD.

New workbenches are in development, stay tuned!
