Geodesic Dome with Struts

[ulrich1a]

I made an update to the Geodesic Dome macro. (See here for the old macro: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9174&p=75439&hilit=geodesic#p75405) It makes now not only a full globe but also a half-sphere. It allows to generate a frame of struts for the dome. The dimensions are available in a bill of materials together with a strut drawing and a drawing of a flattened dome-segment.
The identical struts are collected in groups, so it is easily possible to put a color to all struts of the same type.

Looking at this makes me want to cut lots of struts in accurate angles, and never stop

Amazing, the result is simply amazing. 1500 code lines. You're great!

Does the macro work for anybody with 0.19? Doesnt work...what a pity!

ok figured out to install the geodesic_dome8 from above...
but then
this error message appears
00:03:58 <class 'SyntaxError'>: ('invalid syntax', ('/home/X/.FreeCAD/Macro/geodesic dome8.FCMacro', 168, 11, ' print "accepted! Dome radius: ", self.domeRadLE.property("text"), \\\n'))

any hints welcome, really would like to figure out this

Just comment out the print statements (put a # at the beginning of these lines).

This is the python-2 style of print statements. In python 3, print is a function, so the content to be printed should be surrounded by parentheses. You can fix it if you want. But print calls are just debug output usually, so commenting them out is a good idea too.

Hello,
on my FreeCAD (test with 0.18 and 0.19, python2.7 and python3), it stop at line 1053 "if self.ny <> 3:" and says "invalid syntax".
Maybe "<>" ? I don't understand this operator

Thanks for all!

Not sure, but it may mean "different" like :

Code: Select all

if not self.ny == 3:

From here stackoverflow

The python documentation says that they are equivalent.

The comparison operators <> and != are alternate spellings of the same operator. != is the preferred spelling; <> is obsolescent.

The <> operator has been removed from Python 3.

这两行有问题， 如果注释掉第137行，宏可以运行。但存在标签无法显示的情况。
