Our software is built by everyone*. You can even edit this website. Whether or not you're an experienced programmer or just playing around, we can teach you how to get started with development.

The BlenderBIM Add-on is made possible by the work of the buildingSMART community and the Blender community. buildingSMART has worked for over 20 years to develop IFC, BCF, bSDD, and IDS, technologies that allow computers to understand the data and relationships in our built environment, Blender has helped bring the freedom to create 3D graphics for almost 30 years to the world.
