Arch Workbench/ja

建築ワークベンチによって近代的なBIMワークフローをFreeCADで使用することができます。IFCサポート、壁や構造要素や窓といった完全にパラメトリックな建築物の構成要素、優れた2Dドキュメント制作といった機能がサポートされています。また建築ワークベンチでは製図ワークベンチの全てのツールが使用できます。

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.
