Alternatives in BIM Authoring

BlenderBIM (Bonsai)

Free, open-source native IFC authoring add-on for Blender (formerly named BlenderBIM, renamed Bonsai in 2024). Built on the IfcOpenShell library, it lets users view, author, and enrich IFC BIM models directly inside Blender, covering modeling, drawing generation, and openBIM workflows. Distinct from the catalog's unrelated existing "Bonsai" entry (hellobonsai.com, a freelancer invoicing SaaS).
