Re: Exploded assembly animation
Remove the exploded animation workbench you have and download it from this repository (I have fixed the bug that timthelion (thanks) said):
https://github.com/JMG1/FreeCAD_Explode ... nWorkbench
I have written instructions there
Your file with some animation:
Hope it helps

Hi all!
I have published the second version of the exploded assembly animation workbench, you can download it here:

Re: Exploded assembly animation
For now i have only looked at the video and it looks really good.
P.S. Will test the workbench when i find the time.

Re: Exploded assembly animation
the functionality in the video looks amazing

Hi JMG
Amazing module and quite intuitive; I've tested it in a sub-assembly (modelled by Assembly2 module) and it's a "maravillosa"
Of course I've to go deeper and to find a way to generate videos for example, but I think it's becoming one of my favorite modules.
Thanks for your work ... and congretulation for it

Re: Exploded assembly animation
I did a few tests today and i get good results when using Fasteners WB and after animate the elements by adding BoltGroups for animation purposes.
After i tried to test point to point animation tool. I select 2 corner points of different cubes and press on the point to point tool. The cubes moved together. If i want to animate them after i get this:
I am guessing i am doing something wrong when selecting the points?

Re: Exploded assembly animation
Thanks you for your feedback
@triplus
The objective of the 'point to point' tool is to help to place together the parts before starting to explode them, but your idea of creating trajectories from point to point is interesting. I'll think about it

Re: Exploded assembly animation
I see your module has "mini assembly" capability as well. Good to know that. I will go over the video and tools again probably over the weekend and test the module more in depth.
P.S. If you would provide an option to do a (by using a built in support for POV-Ray) render at each step that would be cool!

Re: Exploded assembly animation
Just an idea: I've been thinking it might be interesting to model directly the trajectory under FreeCAD (typically lines or curves in the draft workbench for example); then an option allows-us to click on and to chose it instead of a pre-selected one.
