Help Needed: Setting Up a BIM Construction Site in BonsaiBIM with Imported IFC File

  1. P

    Hi everyone,

    I’m new to Blender and particularly interested in using Bonsai BIM for my projects. I’m currently planning an annex and have a DWG file containing elevations and measurement points. I converted this DWG file into an IFC project using FreeCAD.

    However, when I import the IFC file into Blender using BlenderBIM, I’m encountering some issues:

    1. Elevation Problems: Some points appear at incorrect elevations.

    2. Scale Issues: The overall scale of the measurements seems inaccurate.

    I’m unsure how to properly set up the construction site in BlenderBIM based on real-world measurements and correct these discrepancies.

    Could someone please point me in the right direction on how to proceed?

    Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on:

    • Properly importing IFC files into BonsaiBIM while maintaining accurate elevations and scale.

    • Adjusting elevations for points that are incorrect.

    • Ensuring that the scale of the imported measurements matches real-world dimensions.

    Any help or resources would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!
