bimforge
A standalone CAD/BIM toolkit in Python: measure 2D plan sheets, author parametric IFC models, roll them up into quantities, stage them in 4D/5D, and produce control, layout and structure sheets — with no dependency on any estimating product.
bimforge.bim— DXF → IFC authoring (IFC4X3 by default, exact extrusions and alignment sweeps), IFC → quantity takeoff, plan-sheet calibration and vector measurement, georeferencing, 3D KML/KMZ for Google Earth, 4D schedule embed/read-back (IfcWorkSchedule) and 5D cost and resource loading (IfcCostSchedule). Schedule readers for GanttWarrior JSON, Primavera P6 XER and MS Project MSPDI live here too.bimforge.author— the structure-family kernel: alignments, section prisms, battered walls, reinforcing bars, plates, saddles, spillways, standard-plan families, with quantities taken from the emitted geometry and never from a parallel formula.bimforge.sheetsandbimforge.cad— sheet production and the org-neutral DXF/KML/geo engine, styled by pluggable style packs.bimforge.terrain— terrain grids, watertight terrain solids and excavation carves from point clouds and contours.
Install
pip install bimforge # IFC stack included (ifcopenshell, ezdxf, shapely, pyproj, numpy)
pip install 'bimforge[all]' # + PDF plan sheets, matplotlib drawing, build123d exact solids
pip install 'bimforge[terrain]' # + point-cloud / mesh terrain
Two CLIs ship with the package:
est-bim --help # dxf2bim, ifc2dxf, takeoff, schedule, cost5d, kml, calibrate, measure, build, ...
est-sheets --help # control / layout / structure sheet production
Style packs
CAD styling (title-block borders, layer colours, KML and IFC surface styles)
comes from a style pack: a package or directory with templates/*.dxf and an
optional styles.yaml. Resolution is explicit argument → registered providers
→ built-in neutral defaults. Any installed distribution can register a provider
through the bimforge.style_packs entry-point group (a zero-argument callable
returning a pack spec or None); bimforge never imports the provider's package
by name.
Fixture provenance
Test fixtures cite public sources or derive their quantities in-repo. They carry no employer bid numbers and no working-directory paths, and CI's de-org scan refuses a change that adds one.
