PROJECT
Part of: OSArch - Open Source in AEC
Fiscal Host: Open Source Collective
To develop the ability to visualize the layers that make up a layered wall/slab/covering/etc in BlenderBIM/FreeCAD--on both the screen and printed svg
About
This project is looking to solicit funds to help develop the ability to visualize the layers that make up a layered wall/slab/covering/etc in BlenderBIM & FreeCAD -- on both the screen and printed svg. The lion's share of this work will be done with C++ in IFCopenShell.
This has been discussed in the following locations.

General Note about Projects:
Anyone familiar with software development knows that it's sometimes hard to determine when exactly the project is complete. Even when the scope is clearly defined, quite often there's a sense that more can be done to refine the project. This is unavoidable, so in that light, to be fair to both the funders and solution providers, the steering committee will act as the arbiter to determine when the project is done and when the funds should be distributed. When it's 'done' will also be a factor of how much the funding is relative to how involved the scope is. That is say, if a very small amount of funding is provided, for a solution that would require a lot more funding, the steering committee can allocate funds for partial solutions, as well.
Please note, if no one provides a solution to the project with a year (365days), the funds dedicated to this project will be transferred over to OSarch's general funding. The OSArch steering committee will then allocate the funding to other projects.
