The Arch workbench provides modern BIM workflow to FreeCAD, with support for features like IFC support, fully parametric architectural entities such as walls, structural elements or windows, and rich 2D document production. The Arch workbench also feature all the tools from the Draft Workbench.

Note: The BIM functionality of FreeCAD is now progressively split into this Arch Workbench, which holds all the base BIM tools, and the BIM Workbench addon, that you can install via menu Tools->Addon Manager, that adds a new interface layer on top of the Arch tools, with the aim to make BIM workflow in FreeCAD more intuitive and user-friendly.

Tools

These are tools for creating architectural objects.

  • Wall: Creates a wall from scratch or using a selected object as a base
  • Structural element: Creates a structural element from scratch or using a selected object as a base
  • Rebar tools
    • Straight Rebar: Creates a Straight reinforcement bar in a selected structural element
    • UShape Rebar: Creates a UShape reinforcement bar in a selected structural element
    • LShape Rebar: Creates a LShape reinforcement bar in a selected structural element
    • Bent Shape Rebar: Creates a Bent Shape reinforcement bar in a selected structural element
    • Stirrup Rebar: Creates a Stirrup reinforcement bar in a selected structural element
    • Helical Rebar: Creates a Helical reinforcement bar in a selected structural element
    • Rebar: Creates a custom reinforcement bar in a selected structural element using a sketch
  • Floor: Creates a floor including selected objects
  • Building: Creates a building including selected objects
  • Site: Creates a site including selected objects
  • Window: Creates a window using a selected object as a base
  • Section Plane: Adds a section plane object to the document
  • Axis tools
