Welcome to the Opensource BIMserver wiki!
This wiki has grown over the years and contains older and newer information. Some of the older information might be obsolete for the current version. An overhaul of the wiki might be in order. Don't hesitate to report things that seem plain wrong to you.
If you just want to try and test the BIMserver, dive right into the wiki section "Get Started" and the Quick Guide.
The Opensource BIMserver community has been actively developing since 2013. We are happy to accept contributions as there still are many developments going on. To contribute, you may:
- Fork the opensource BIMserver repo, create a new branch, make your changes, write tests if applicable, and do a pull request.
- Review our issues queue.
- Create a new issue, if you think you found one that is not yet covered.
BIMserver has a flexible architecture and various interfaces and is meant to be integrated with your software to act as an IFC backend. You may:
- Write your own plugin or service.
- Use the clients or write your own client to have your application talk with a BIMserver instance.
- Embed the Opensource BIMserver in your application.
If you need help, first check out this Wiki, the FAQ list and the issue tracker. You can also contact the developers/contributors regarding the issue you encountered. You can reach the maintainers via [email protected].
