This video is a general "Getting started" introduction to the BIM workbench. In it, we will model a small building with walls, columns, beams, slabs and windows, organize our model by grouping objects and creating storeys, see how to produce 2D views of our model, and finally export it to IFC.
It is not a tutorial to be followed (will do that at some point), but I tried to make something that would help someone to simply see how it all works, and how to get started with BIM modeling.
