A great way to start using any 3D design tool like Blender and FreeCAD is with a couple of examples you can use as a guide. It can be a simple project to give you an idea of how to organize and build a project or something more complex like an entire design. Since FreeCAD […]
For those of you looking to step outside of Blender looking for some additional tools to create architectural designs, one of the best options available is FreeCAD. I think FreeCAD and Blender can work great together and complement each other to fill gaps in an architectural workflow. One area in that FreeCAD is better than […]
By the end of last month, I posted here in Blender 3D Architect an article about a project developed with an entire FOSS workflow. The project’s author used many different tools to create the design. They were starting with FreeCAD to create 3D models and layouts of the house and going to other stages of […]

Among the materials, you will always find content related to architecture, furniture models, and also news about Blender. Here is a list of articles from last […]
The use of open-source software in architecture can occur in many stages of a workflow, like the start of a design, where you try different ideas and sketches to see if you can provide a great layout for a project. You can also use it as a marketing resource with Blender renders to help sell […]
As you probably know from all the articles and content posted here in Blender 3D Architect, I always try to add Blender and other open-source tools into a project workflow. It can be simple, like editing site photos with GIMP or developing a complete marketing campaign with Blender. Regardless of the tool, it would be […]
As the development of more IFC-based solutions for Blender advances, we might soon start to see engineers looking to Blender as a way to work on their projects. A quick example of that appeared on Bruno Postle Twitter account with a practical example of IfcStructuralAnalysisModel. It uses the incredible Homemaker Add-on. From Blender, you can […]
Even with tools such as BlenderBIM that allow us to organize an entire project using BIM standards and export that as an IFC file, we could benefit a lot from a workflow that also includes FreeCAD. Since it has a native BIM workbench and can do many things that Blender still can’t, like easily generate […]
