- Cloud-based BIM project management (OpenProject BIM module is closed source, it seems)
It's available on github: https://github.com/opf/openproject/tree/dev/modules/bim
I didn't know Ruby so I was just able to do some tweaks to enable it on my local install, but I could not get the models converted. They don't provide installation guides. OpenProject uses xeokit, so these tools must be present on the server: https://github.com/opf/openproject/blob/dev/modules/bim/app/services/bim/ifc_models/view_converter_service.rb#L35
https://github.com/xeokit/xeokit-sdk/wiki/Creating-Files-for-Offline-BIM
I might add a CDE to the wishlist. I don't know an opensource one.

@htlcnn yeah that's something I don't fully understand... xeokit is not open source, so how can OpenProject's BIM module ship it as open source?

@Moult so OpenProject BIM is not opensource. They just push their code to github for storage, "accidentally" make some people mistake it is opensource, like I did with UnrealEngine.

Promoting standards for interoperability is absolutely the way to go. Standards however are never worth anything without users adopting them. Would like to propose revitalizing STEP as a standard for storage and transfer of 2d geometry.
