[https://wiki.freecadweb.org/TechDraw_Workbench TechDraw WB] is a module of FreeCAD originally for mechanical design drawings. There are some features for Architecture, but TechDraw has little control on them. This is the reason why it is necessary to document workflows that allow to elaborate drawings for a more complex technical documentation, commonly used in areas of AEC industry. In the future, FreeCAD developers will improve and optimize these workflows in new FreeCAD versions.

FreeCAD Custom Macros[edit]

Macros are a convenient way to reproduce complex actions in FreeCAD. You simply record actions as you do them, then save those actions under a name, and replay them whenever you want. Since macros are in reality a list of Python commands, you can also edit them, and create very complex scripts.

Here you can find a list of FreeCAD Macros useful for AEC projects.
