Wanted - BubbleBIM preBeta testers
Anyone here want to play with BubbleBIM while is under development? Online. No install needed. Could be an opotunity to descover bugs, ask for functions, shape it's future. Write me in this post. I am thinking of making a Render release that will follow and update as I push new features in github. Kind regards, Ionut

BubbleBIM status - with video
I am recicling some old fotos and videos of BubbleBIM on linkedin - because I am lazy. I will make a short update to the date with what happened with it: - added material config; - visual filters; - suport for shells and coverings; - more complex boolean operations; - started implementing 2D drawings, frontviews and sections using TOC 2D drawings release and some personal techniques - managed to get a hang of line weigths and styles, still some work to do here for better control of position, direction and depth - after that, hatches/textures; - for now I downgraded from ladybugdb to simple json as database. Found a rust crate that is called nanograph that seems more user-friendly for my purposes. Happy to say modules from this tool are implemented, developed and used in a cool comercial software project for a client from Austria. As soon as I will be happy with the 2D drawings, will make a Render build for members of this comunity to test. Kind regards, Ionut

Gamefying the new generation of tools
Guess who's back?! While in the background I am working hard on new tools and implementations: both for clients and for BubbleBIM ecosystem, my philosopy on how to aproach everything drifts more and more in the game spectre. Let's be honest: BIM and CAD tools are boring. But I don't believe this should remain the same. Yes. It is boring to build DuckDB or LadyBUGDB databases using sql code or cypher. But put a nice UI in top, with a cool UX, configure targets to achieve and milestones, and you have a game. Transfer this logic to our AEC problem. Imagine this: delivering to the client not an IFC file -> but a full configured app that opens in the browser, with all the data he needs accesible as in a webpage. Let him play with materials, colors, costs. Give him a nice dashboard with budgets, carbon emisions, cost of managing that building over time, or the value evolution per credit costs. Would he be more temptet to buy from you? Think about it. P.S. Changed my mind. Soon will open back the group to new commers. As soon as I deploy the first playable version of BubbleBIM Online. Kind regards, Ionut

I completely agree with you on that, Software like Revit can feel very limiting, Boring and is also extremely expensive! 🔥

@Gurudhevan Ganesh Compared with Rhino and Grasshopper, which are based on NURBS, Revit’s BREP approach can feel quite limited, and it is extremely expensive over time. I say that respectfully, of course. 😌
Stealing IfcWindows and IfcDoors
I am a romanian. And a lazy romanian I may add. So I've developed a system to creatively "borrow" ifc elements from IFC models to use them in BubbleBIM. I really don't have the time or the pacience to model beautifull 3D window models. So... I even started to create a library out of it. Because I care about recycling. Loocks nice on the wall, doesn't it?

Looks promising! 🔥
What small web app asociated to this platform would make it worth 20 euros/month?
While I will start soon to deploy small tutorials in the field of AEC development and automations, I really want to make sure people that pay here a subscription to get a real, monetary value out of it. This means not only learning, but also tools asociated with it. So how about deployed apps that make money, and the source code with a clear documentation so you can learn from it, adapt and overcome walls and boring repetitive tasks? Pls take a second to vote. kind regards, Ionut

@Ionut Ciuntuc Thank you, Ionut, I really appreciate your thoughts on this. My feeling is that, since there is no truly reliable native IFC export on Rhino and the format continues to evolve in IFC, especially with IFC5 on the horizon, it may be wiser to focus in that direction. A bridge between a NURBS-based tool such as Rhino and Blender Bonsai could be very valuable, especially for documentation and broader interoperability. Of course, this is only my current view, and I may be overlooking important aspects. youtube.com/watch?v=N_5Ju9czZ-E
