I tried to made some sheet-metal-parts with Part-Design. Right the first part had a forked design, which I recognized late. Several sketches where included. After three trials, I recognized that the Part-Design-Workbench did not behave as it should: Adding a sketch to a part, with a revolution about...

If you know how to generate the tree, I think we are near to have a working algorithm I know how to generate the tree, but my code depends heavily on Part-section. And this is total buggy in my version of OCE. I am sure, there are other bugs in my code, but it is difficult to find them under this c...

Currently, I'm working with the unfolding algorithm where I'm going to need help, I will ask once I completely define my question. In the meantime I made an unfolding algothithm, which works for my testpart. It works in two steps: 1. It analyzes the part and builds an internal tree-structure of fla...

Ist aber trotzdem ein Gefrickel, diese Bemaßungen dann in der Zeichnung korrekt zu positionieren, da sie so wie sie jetzt sind, falsch positioniert sind. Das Dimensionieren von 3D-Teilen ist alles andere als komfortabel in FreeCAD mit den mitgelieferten Werkzeugen. Bei der Seitenansicht von Zylinde...

Die Bemaßungen sind in der Zeichnung drin. Sie haben allerdings den Maßstab 10:1 und ragen überall über die Zeichnung hinaus. Du mußt die ViewDimension-Objekte auswählen und dann im Data-Tab vom Property-Editor, den gleichen Maßstab, die gleiche Position und die gleiche Rotation, wie bei dem Ortho_0...

Die Maße muss man aus der Draft-Workbench in die Zeichnung projezieren. Es gibt dort einen extra Schalter (button) in der Draft-Workbench fürs Einfügen von Objekten in eine Zeichnung. Die Drawing-Workbench kann die meisten Draft-Objekte nicht in die Zeichnung einfügen. Dann verwendet die Draft-Workb...

How would you set the view normal to it? I know of no way in the GUI. Jonathan Wiedemann wrote a macro, because it is not available in the Gui. See here: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Macro_Align_View_to_Face Microelly2 asked also about this feature in the forum, but I have actuall...

Sorry if I'm being a pain in the butt, but until I get the fundamentals, I'm taking the 'hit and miss' approach. A page that gives a short overview of all the concepts in FreeCAD is still missing. So the question is valid. I would say: Design: The creative process to create something. In FreeCAD ma...

Thanks to great help on this forum I now know get slices from an object loaded into FreeCAD. How did you make the slice? If it is done with the section command, it returns a list of edges. I looks like a wire, but is not. The following may of use for you: import Part, DraftVecUtils, DraftGeomUtils ...

ok.
I already found an example in this code: https://github.com/5263/FreeCAD/blob/ma ... eatures.py
