When I refactored the #BlenderBIM Add-on at the start of the year, I fully decoupled the code that manipulates #BIM open data standards from Blender. The end result is that now there is a high level, expressive free software API for the entire industry to automate, generate, and manipulate BIM data. It's still early days, but the future is bright!
#FreeCAD 0.19 is finally officially out! Grab your copy at https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases or read the releases notes at https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Release_notes_0.19
I posted an update on my work with the Homemaker Blender add-on. It's an interactive pointy-clicky tool for designing buildings (the main Homemaker tool is 100% command-line automation, this hasn't changed)

@duncan_lithgow that could work, though I'm not sure they have the same internal and external area, so it might require two sets of radiators with water circulating between them
@duncan_lithgow I was thinking a drain tube that fed into a water trap, so maintaining air tightness.
In a heated building situation all the condensation would be in the air outlet, so mould probably isn't an issue for fresh air brought-in. It could all go wrong in an air conditioned building with warm humid air outside.
@duncan_lithgow Unrolling it would probably destroy it, but yes it definitely needs some way to collect condensate
Hey maker people! It's clear now that I'm never going to get around to prototyping this idea for a cheap heat recovery unit. If it works, you can ventilate your building without spending more on heating.

Idea for a ventilation fan with a *cheap* heat exchanger made from kitchen foil, foam rubber, wood, and lots of glue

Putting some #Nodevember energy into #Laidout.. implemented several vector graphics construction nodes that let you do line "arrows" from any object, and clone on random point sets. I mean it's not making the entire Grand Canyon with a single shader on Blender's default cube, but hey, it's a start!
The new version of #StreetComplete (v26) has a fantasic new feature. It's much faster when download quests, and now will show you all the quests in an area. It's made things so so much faster & easier to use.
