LinesCAD

FOSS & human-made BIM & CAD tool

Bi-directional selection system is now complete. (Selecting in Coin is surprisingly easier than I first thought!) You can now select in the tree or in the 3D view, everything gets highlighted correctly.

Almost done with selection system. I think you guys will like it. Simple and powerful. No subshape selection like FreeCAD, but built-in container selection (you can select a building, storey...) plus, I found a way to solve node stacking like we were discussing here before.

The IFC loader is back! The same one as the proof of concept for now, it still needs proper multitasking, progress bar, optimizing, and multiple files support, that's coming next! Also did a bit more work on the default light theme. Slowly taking shape!

Highlights of this week in LinesCAD: A new main window that can draw its own title bar (to save some screen space when in fullscreen, since we can now add stuff to that titlebar), and everything neatly organized in folders. Nothing visible/triable yet, but that's coming soon!
