Open BIM Studio 0.1.1 — Linux preview

Open BIM Studio 0.1.1 — Linux development preview

This release packages the consolidated main application at 42992c6.
It includes the integrated modelling, reinforcement, section-box, view/property,
Sketch editing and IFC/DXF work that followed the 0.1 preview.

Install on Linux x86-64:
bash Open-BIM-Studio-0.1.1-linux-x86_64.run
Start:
~/.local/bin/open-bim-studio --example
Open a project:
~/.local/bin/open-bim-studio /absolute/path/to/project.ifcxb

The installer replaces ~/.local/share/open-bim-studio and updates its launcher
and applications-menu entry. Back up projects before trying a preview. Project
files are stored separately from the installed application.

Requirements: Linux x86-64, glibc 2.38 or newer, an X11 session (or compatible
XWayland environment), Vulkan support and the system X11/font dependencies.
GLFW and the Vulkan loader are bundled. GPU drivers are supplied by the OS.
Other Linux distributions and GPU/driver combinations have not been certified.

This is the successfully compiled -O0 development executable, without debug
symbols. It is not an optimised production build. A small-model startup check
is not a comprehensive modelling, interoperability or performance test.

Not included: the new work-in-progress curved-roof extrusion/sweep tools,
vertical-opening drawing controls, parallel dimension labels, beam Trim
preselection, corrected roof grips, Graph Explorer improvements and the new
Sketch ribbon layout. These remain on a separate feature branch.

No Windows installer is included in this release. No private project drawings
or private project models are distributed. See VERIFICATION.txt and SHA256SUMS.

Open BIM Studio 0.1 — Preview

Open BIM Studio 0.1 — preview

Native BIM modelling in DynLex, with plans, sections, sheets and IFCX models.

Included in this preview:

• Parametric reinforcement cages, bars, meshes and area reinforcement.
• Lightweight line display for reinforcement by default. Diameter display is
  available through Graphics > Rebar with diameter.
• Reinforcement enclosed in supported opaque slab hosts is omitted from the
  GPU upload. Selecting the host/reinforcement or using wireframe/section box
  reveals it again. Sloped, concave and unsupported layered hosts stay visible.
• More compact UI with the duplicate top title row removed.
• Pan/shader correction, selectable grid heads and complete mullion outlines.
• Reinforcement notation, schedules and example models.

This is an early preview. Use copies of project files. The Linux application
is an unoptimised (-O0, without debug symbols) build; no performance speedup
factor or engineering-code compliance certification is claimed.

Linux x86_64:
chmod +x Open-BIM-Studio-0.1-linux-x86_64.run
./Open-BIM-Studio-0.1-linux-x86_64.run

The installer installs per user into ~/.local/share/open-bim-studio, with a
menu entry and ~/.local/bin/open-bim-studio launcher. Reinstalling replaces
that application directory. Project documents are stored separately.
Requires a compatible Linux desktop, Vulkan driver, glibc 2.38 or newer and
system FreeType. Built on Linux Mint 22.3 (Ubuntu 24.04 base).

Windows: packaging/build validation is still in progress. A Windows installer
is not included until an actual Windows executable has been built and checked.

Known preview limitations observed in UI review:

• Storey isolation also hides reinforcement; disable isolation to inspect it.
• Dense reinforcement annotations on the example plan can overlap and need
  manual layout refinement. The example sheets are demonstration drawings.

Verification: compare downloaded files with SHA256SUMS.
Demo-Pavilion.ifcxb is an example model with components, reinforcement and
two drawing sheets. Open it from the application or pass its path on launch.
Open-BIM-Studio-0.1-source.tar.gz contains the compiler/library/app snapshot.
