Error messages: No module found ArchIFC, 'BIMWorkbench' object has no attribute 'draftingtools'

Hi,

I just installed BIM using the instructions on the github readme (used Tools/Addon Mgr) and restarted FreeCAD. The first time I switch to the BIM context, I get the error: "No module named 'ArchIFC'" along with a traceback I usually can't read quickly enough. On subsequent switches back to the BIM context I get the error: "'BIMWorkbench' object has no attribute 'draftingtools'".

Here are my vitals:

OS: Windows 10
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.4 (GitTag)
Build type: Release
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-18

Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)

I ran freecad from the CLI with the -l option to obtain the logs and saw the following:

You can see that I selected the BIM module, then went back to Arch, then back to BIM. Any thoughts? I don't see an ArchIFC library anywhere, and I'm not sure about the draftingtools issue.

Same for me here.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.18.4. Build type: Release Python version: 3.6.8 Qt version: 5.9.5 Coin version: 4.0.0a OCC version: 7.3.0 Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)

1. Launching freecad from command line.
2. New document
3. Select BIM workbench give this error in the console

No module named 'ArchIFC' Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 102, in Initialize File "/home/djacquel/.FreeCAD/Mod/BIM/archguitools/gui_wall.py", line 33, in import archmake.make_wall as make_wall File "/home/djacquel/.FreeCAD/Mod/BIM/archmake/make_wall.py", line 29, in from archobjects.wall import Wall File "/home/djacquel/.FreeCAD/Mod/BIM/archobjects/wall.py", line 35, in from ArchIFC import IfcProduct

4. Back to any other workbench
5. Back to BIM workbench gives this error in the console

Thanks for reporting! Indeed the BIM WB should always be kept compatible with 0.18... This should now be fixed with 48a651d
