[FreeCAD] Soon also with Native IFC support? like BlenderBIM

    @paullee the easiest way for users to play with it is either to use IfcConvert or the BlenderBIM Add-on (for more detailed control). Doing it in Python requires quite a few steps if you want extra control.

    Thanks Moult. I would like to try with FreeCAD NativeIFC import, realising there is no GUI for such purpose other than FreeCAD Arch Section Plane, the first thing I have on my mind is the IfcOpenShell python interface.

    @paullee you may need to wait a little bit then, as it isn't so straightforward (such is the nature of a WIP drawing generation library). FreeCAD needs to 1) add the ability to create a drawing object storing the "section box" of the drawing, and 2) ideally create a button which creates a drawing with a variety of sane default settings.
