Abstract
Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) methodology has revolutionized the entire cultural heritage documentation panorama since 2009. At the same time, the possibility of creating and managing HBIM projects by using open source solutions opened new research paths in 2016. Different reasons can drive the utilisation of free and open source software (FOSS), however the accessibility of a tailor-made project should be the main purpose. After six years of research on open source HBIM, this paper will review the actual panorama of designed and operative programmes on informative models of historic architecture built with FOSS solutions. Different aspects will be analysed, from open source software setup to parametric modelling and from semantic dimension to data exchange and cloud accessibility. Then, the advantages and drawbacks of open source protocols will be highlighted. Lastly, the next updates, future scenarios and developments on open source HBIM will be estimated.
