3D dimensions in TechDraw

I want to make some 3D dimensions in the TechDraw module in an isometric view, the problem is that the dimensions lines are perpendicular to the projected line, and I want them in the direction of the axis.

Is this possible?

Re: [new feature] Sketcher basic BSpline support

Thanks! This is very cool. Is this supposed to work with the "create an edge linked to external geometry" tool, to add external splines to the sketch? or is this not yet implemented? I want to create geometries based on external splines (using the fixing point to object constraint), and th...

Re: Intersection between two Draft objects

DraftGeomUtils.findIntersection() It doesn't work, it returns an empty list import FreeCAD from Draft import * from DraftGeomUtils import * line1 = makeLine((0,0,0), (2,2,0)) line2 = makeLine((2,0,0), (0,2,0)) print(findIntersection(line1, line2)) OS: Linux Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of Free...

Intersection between two Draft objects

Suppose I have two objects in the Draft Module, How Can I find their intersection in a script? A simple example will be the intersection between 2 lines: import FreeCAD from Draft import * line1 = makeLine((0,0,0), (2,2,0)) line2 = makeLine((,0,0), (0,2,0)) If I use the snap feature for intersection...

Snap on solid not working

I'm trying to make a complete wing in FreeCAD (skin, spars, ribs and stringers), I generetated the skin with an offset of the loft between the wing sections (airfoils). Now I want to start with the spars (longitudinal stiffeners), but I need to snap to the wing skin, to get the correct size. The pro...

Re: Spline deformed after rotation

Hi! The spline isn't deformed. It's just low tessellation. To improve it, you can change it on per-object basis, by lowering the value of Deviation property (view tab in property editor). Or on global basis, by going to Preferences->Part design->Shape view Thanks, that solved the issue! Better ask ...

Spline deformed after rotation

So I have a spline of an airfoil ( I got it after some problems I solved in this post: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19455 ) and now I want to rotate it. For some angles it works fine, but for other the spline gets deformed even after recomputing. If I edit the spline and sligh...

Re: Problem creating a spline from an airfoil

Thanks for the replies Draft.makeBSpline(points, closed=False) which creates open bspline. I don't know why but sometimes I got scaled airfoil and some time without scaling, but you can scale it later as needed. I got it working with the following script import FreeCAD, Draft from PySide import QtCo...

Problem creating a spline from an airfoil

So I try to create an airfoil with a spline, to do this I do the following steps: 1. Get the data from here: http://airfoiltools.com/airfoil/details?airfoil=naca2412-il 2. Import the .dat into freecad, telling it is common airfoil data. 3. I convert the dwire to a spline Freecad makes the Dwire good...
