ConstructCraft

This is a community package of ConstructCraft, maintained independently and unaffiliated with Francis Rebouças. It repackages the official upstream Linux build unmodified.

ConstructCraft, formerly ConstructCAD, is a building information modeling application. One parametric model is the source of truth: floor plans, sections, elevations, 3D views, legends, schedules and sheets are views of that model. It imports IFC2X3 and IFC4 and exports IFC4.

The interface is available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Lao, Polish, Ukrainian, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese. No account is required.

Known issue: the app looks for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Lao fonts only at fixed paths under /usr/share/fonts, which inside Flatpak is the runtime, not your system. Those interfaces show boxes until upstream also looks in /run/host/fonts; on a system set to one of these languages, switch to another under File → Language.

Sandbox: display, GPU and the Documents folder so a project path keeps working. Open and Save otherwise go through the file chooser. The in-app update notice is turned off; updates come through FlatPark.

The headless runner is flatpak run --command=ccad io.github.francisreboucas.constructcraft -h.

To open a project by path outside Documents, run flatpak override --user --filesystem=home io.github.francisreboucas.constructcraft.

Official Linux build 0.10.0. ConstructCAD is now ConstructCraft; the desktop program is constructcraft, while ccad and the .ccad files keep their names. The package id changed with the name: users of io.github.francisreboucas.constructcad install this app once. Its preferences start fresh; to keep the old ones, copy ~/.var/app/io.github.francisreboucas.constructcad/ to ~/.var/app/io.github.francisreboucas.constructcraft/ before the first run.
