What Is OSArch and Why It Matters With Duncan Lithgow The OSArch community aims to provide support for a community and ecosystem of software that respects the digital freedom of the industry and its users. This digital freedom allows collaboration to occur, and is increasingly important as the industry and next generation of digitally savvy professionals leave academia to join us in our journey to improve the built environment. In particular, we help support four types of digital freedom, which are known as the four essential freedoms. When the OSArch community talks about free software, we are not referring to price (which is a common misconception), we are talking about software that provides these four freedoms, of which price is not a factor. The freedoms are: 1️The freedom to use software as you wish for any purposes, whether it be educational, commercial, R&D, in any context with no time limit, no arbitrary vendor restrictions, or any other rules governing your usage. 2️The freedom to study how the software works, and change it so it can do what you want. We want to promote digital learning and the freedom to customise software for your workflows, your data, your environment, with no restrictions. 3️The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others. We need our tools to be shared to work together on the built environment. Sharing tools with others helps upskill and improve the abilities of the entire industry. 4️The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. A precondition to provide these four freedoms is to ensure that we are able to do all the work we need to do in the AEC industry using open source software. Satisfying this precondition means the license of the software must be an FSF-approved license or an OSI-approved license. Access to, and the freedom to change this code empowers and puts the users (that's you!) in control over the data in the built environment, instead of vendors. Duncan Lithgow is a Constructing Architect and ICT Specialist at Henning Larsen Architects in Skanderborg, Denmark. At the same time, Duncan is one of the most active contributors in the OSArch community.

The “markdown” of BIM is here Dotbim (.bim - as an extension) is an open-source, accessible, simple, minimalistic file format for BIM, that will allow you to store geometry and data with it. Dotbim (.bim) was built with an idea of having whole documentation of it on 1 page only. It was made on purpose to make it as minimalistic and as simple, and it possibly can be. Yet still it allows transferring geometries and data attached. Such approach can make a huge difference for the developers of different software. You'd spent much less time on building parsers, importers, exporter, and other tools around it. Think of it as the “markdown” of BIM – the bare minimum, but just enough structure for your content. Wojciech Radaczyński is a programmer at Designbotic, where he's developing tools for architects.

It's built by the AEC community, for the AEC community. Get it today: https://blenderbim.org/ Since the last mammoth release, we've pivoted from developing many new features towards stablising the necessary workflows for native authoring. Between the last release and now, two presentations were delivered to two international events: BILT 2021 and CAAD Futures 2021. Creating presentations takes time, and a good week was spent to craft an action-packed, information-loaded one hour introduction video presentation to Native IFC. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it, and share it for those who know BIM, but not OpenBIM, or those who know IFC, but not Native IFC.
