Arch Workbench/zh-cn

简介

The Arch Workbench provides a modern Building Information Modelling (BIM) workflow to FreeCAD, with support for features like fully parametric architectural entities such as walls, beams, roofs, windows, stairs, pipes, and furniture. It supports Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) files, and production of 2D floor plans in combination with the TechDraw Workbench.

由于建筑工作台要利用2D对象来构建其建筑对象，因此，它导入了底图工作台（Draft Workbench）中的所有工具。除此以外，建筑工作台亦可使用如零件工具台（Part）与零件设计工作台（PartDesign）所创建的对象。

FreeCAD中的BIM功能正逐步拆分至此建筑工作台中，它持有基本的建筑体工具与BIM Workbench，后者可以利用Addon Manager进行安装。本工作台在建筑工具（Arch tools）之上添加了一个新的接口层，目标是令FreeCAD中的BIM工作流程更为直观且更易于使用。

The developers of Draft, Arch, and BIM also collaborate with the greater OSArch community, with the ultimate goal of improving building design by using entirely free software.

• Panel Sheet: Creates a 2D cut sheet including panel cuts or other 2D objects.

• Nest: Allows to nest several flat objects inside a container shape.

• Equipment: Creates an equipment or furniture object.

• Frame: Creates a frame object from a selected layout.

• Fence: Creates a fence object from a selected post and path.

• Truss: Creates a truss from a selected line or from scratch.

• Profile: Creates a parametric 2D profile.

• Material tools

• Material: Creates a material and attributes it to selected objects, if any.

• Multi-Material: Creates a multi-material and attributes it to selected objects, if any.

• Schedule: Creates different types of schedules.

• Pipe tools

• Pipe: Creates a pipe.

• Cut with line: Cuts an object according to a line.

• Add component: Adds objects to a component.

• Remove component: Subtracts or removes objects from a component.

• Survey: Enters or leaves surveying mode.

实用工具

以下这些工具可助您实现一些特定任务。

• Component: Creates a non-parametric Arch component.

• Clone component: Produces Arch Components that are clones of selected Arch objects (not to be confused with Draft Clone).

• Split Mesh: Splits a selected mesh into separate components.

• Mesh to Shape: Converts a mesh into a shape, unifying coplanar faces.

• Select non-manifold meshes: Selects all non-manifold meshes from the current selection or from the document.

• Remove Shape from Arch: Turns cubic shape-based Arch object fully parametric.

• Close holes: Closes holes in a selected shape-based object.

• Merge Walls: Merge two or more walls.

• Check: Check if the selected objects are solids and don't contain defects.

• Toggle IFC Brep flag: Forces a selected object to be exported as an IfcFacetedBrep.

• 3 Views from mesh: Creates top, front and side views from a mesh.

• Create IFC spreadsheet...: Creates a spreadsheet to store IFC properties of an object.

• Toggle subcomponents: Shows or hides the subcomponents of an Arch object.

首选项

• 建筑工作台首选项（Preferences）: 针对墙体、构件、钢筋、窗口、台阶、面板、管道、网格与坐标轴默认外观的设置首选项。
