Bancada de trabalho Arch
Introdução
The Arch Workbench provides a modern Building Information Modelling (BIM) workflow to FreeCAD, with support for features like fully parametric architectural entities such as walls, beams, roofs, windows, stairs, pipes, and furniture. It supports Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) files, and production of 2D floor plans in combination with the
TechDraw Workbench.
A bancada Arch importa todas as ferramentas da Bancada Draft, pois usa objetos 2D para construir seus objetos arquitetônicos. No entanto, a Arch também pode usar objetos sólidos criados em outras bancadas, como a Bancada Part e a Bancada PartDesign.
A funcionalidade BIM do FreeCAD agora está dividida progressivamente nesta Bancada, que contém ferramentas arquitetônicas básicas, e no BIM Workbench, que você pode instalar através do Gerenciador de Complementos. Este ambiente de trabalho adiciona uma nova camada de interface às ferramentas do Arch, com o objetivo de tornar o fluxo de trabalho BIM no FreeCAD mais intuitivo e fácil de usar.
Os desenvolvedores das bancadas Arch, Draft e BIM também colaboram com a comunidade OSArch, que fomenta o uso do software livre no âmbito da construção e do design.
Ferramentas
Estas são as ferramentas para criar objetos arquitetônicos:
Wall: Creates a wall from scratch or using a selected object as a base.
Structure: Creates a structural element from scratch or using a selected object as a base.
Rebar tools: These tools, except the last, are only available if the Reinforcement Workbench has been installed.
Straight Rebar: Creates a straight reinforcement bar in a selected structural element.
U-Shape Rebar: Creates a U-shape reinforcement bar in a selected structural element.
L-Shape Rebar: Creates an L-shape reinforcement bar in a selected structural element.
Stirrup: Creates a stirrup reinforcement bar in a selected structural element.

Helical Rebar: Creates a helical reinforcement bar in a selected structural element.
Column Reinforcement: Creates reinforcement bars in a selected column.
Beam Reinforcement: Creates reinforcement bars in a selected beam.
Slab Reinforcement: Creates reinforcement bars in a selected slab.
Footing Reinforcement: Creates reinforcement bars in a selected footing.
Custom Rebar: Creates a custom reinforcement bar in a selected structural element using a sketch.

Panel: Creates a panel object from a selected 2D object.
Panel Cut: Creates a 2D cut view from a panel.
Panel Sheet: Creates a 2D cut sheet including panel cuts or other 2D objects.
Nest: Allows to nest several flat objects inside a container shape.
Equipment: Creates an equipment or furniture object.
Frame: Creates a frame object from a selected layout.
Fence: Creates a fence object from a selected post and path.
Truss: Creates a truss from a selected line or from scratch.
Profile: Creates a parametric 2D profile.
Material: Creates a material and attributes it to selected objects, if any.
Multi-Material: Creates a multi-material and attributes it to selected objects, if any.
Schedule: Creates different types of schedules.
Pipe: Creates a pipe.
Connector: Creates a corner or T-connection between 2 or 3 selected pipes.
Ferramentas de Modificação
Estas são as ferramentas para modificar objetos arquitetônicos:
Cut with plane: Cuts an object according to a plane.
Cut with line: Cuts an object according to a line.
Add component: Adds objects to a component.
Remove component: Subtracts or removes objects from a component.
Survey: Enters or leaves surveying mode.
Utilidades
Estas são as ferramentas adicionais para te ajudar em tarefas específicas.
Component: Creates a non-parametric Arch component.
Clone component: Produces Arch Components that are clones of selected Arch objects (not to be confused with Draft Clone).
Split Mesh: Splits a selected mesh into separate components.
Mesh to Shape: Converts a mesh into a shape, unifying coplanar faces.
Select non-manifold meshes: Selects all non-manifold meshes from the current selection or from the document.
Remove Shape from Arch: Turns cubic shape-based Arch object fully parametric.
Close holes: Closes holes in a selected shape-based object.
Merge Walls: Merge two or more walls.
Check: Check if the selected objects are solids and don't contain defects.
Toggle IFC Brep flag: Forces a selected object to be exported as an IfcFacetedBrep.
3 Views from mesh: Creates top, front and side views from a mesh.
Create IFC spreadsheet...: Creates a spreadsheet to store IFC properties of an object.
Toggle subcomponents: Shows or hides the subcomponents of an Arch object.
Preferências
Preferências: preferências em relação à aparência padrão de paredes, estruturas, vergalhões, janelas, escadas, painéis, tubos, grades e eixos.
