A Development of Parametric Object for Reinforced Concrete Elements with FreeCAD Program

Abstract

Nowadays Building Information Models(BIM) play a pivotal role. It can be used by various programs and application. But Small and Medium Enterprise that have Investment restrictions. They have to find the alternatives to work with BIM. This research has studied the useful of FreeCAD program, which is an open source code and freeware. The objective of this research not only to created BIM with FreeCAD but also to develop the capabilities of features to support parts that not complete on FreeCAD. The resultant from studing have shown that FreeCAD has the potential to make BIM. It has a part of the python language to develop the user-defined objects. In this research use FreeCAD to model the prototype house and precast concrete panels
