a room, TV stand cupboard, transparent roof

Post by jmaustpc »

Hi all
this is a simple but real world example of FreeCAD usage.

It may be of interest in that it shows some of the FreeCAD features and their possible uses.
1)The ceiling/roof representation box has its "transparency" attribute set to 80 (note: - opaque is 0 and totally transparent is 100)
2)each of the walls, as well as the floor and roof are all created from separate "box"es. Windows are a boolean "cut" out of the walls.
3)the colour attribute of the components has been utilised.
4) the CRT TV representation was created by drawing a "wire" of the top view in "Draft" and then "extrude"d in "Part" workbench. In fact the TV representation was created as a separate "project" and then added to the room by using "merge project" from the "file" menu.

Disclaimers: -
1)the model is not complete in detail as it was drawn for the purpose of being a representation of a general layout and not ever intended to be a detailed design.
2)the front of the cabinet had to be forward out into the room such that the shelf would be deep enough to fit the old "CRT TV", speakers and other equipment, yet not covering the windows.
3) the primary purpose of the model was to create a visualisation of a concept in order to determine the opinions of the girls and lady of my life. The result of which was general approval except daughters somewhat predictably insisted that the room would be better if its walls were pink! :D

Note primarily for Yorik: -
This was all drawn mostly from the "part" (and some of the Draft) workbench. Your "Arch" did not exist at the time.

As per usual the project file is a fcstd file and is not really zipped, just delete ".notreallyzipped.zip" from the file name to load in FreeCAD.
