Create a new BIM project
Create a new BIM project
true
true
-
A new BIM project will be created, either as a new FreeCAD document or as a Native IFC project
true
-
-
This will create a new FreeCAD document that allows you to build a BIM model, but with no specific IFC structure yet. This is the most flexible option when you start working ona BIM project. You can convert this project to IFC anytime later.
Create a new document without IFC support yet
false
-
This will create an IFC project. All the BIM objects you will add to that IFC project will immediately become IFC objects. This is less flexible, but allows you to stick more strictly to the IFC standard.
Create a Native IFC project in the current document
true
-
The new IFC project will be created as a new FreeCAD document. In that mode, the IFC project is the FreeCAD document, anything you create in that document becomes part of the IFC project. This is extremely restrictive as no non-IFC object can be added to the document.
Create a locked Native IFC project as a new document
