As of version 2022.a, Open BIM Analytical Model includes the IFC Builder tool which allows users to design a simple architectural model, suitable for generating the analytical model, in the same Open BIM Analytical Model project. To launch the tool, users must press the "Architectural modelling" button available in the "Project" group in the application’s toolbar.
Once the architectural model is finished, it can be sent back to Open BIM Analytical Model using the "Export" option available in the "Analytical model" group in the IFC Builder toolbar. As the model already contains analytical geometry, when generating the analytical model in Open BIM Analytical Model the "Use the outlines of the spaces defined in the IFC model" option in the configuration panel must be checked.
