What I have said about the name is not correct. I was playing around and at some point checked the "Show all" option in the Tree view context menu. Apparently ColorList properties are hidden by default. Maybe because the average user would have a hard time editing such a property. The nam...

the property wont appear under "Animation" Remove the underscore from the property name. still an empty list after append. obj.addProperty("App::PropertyColorList", "SolidColors", "Animation", "list of colors for each solid") obj.SolidColors += [(1,...

Hello. Im trying to add a list of colors to a scripted object but when I do: obj.addProperty("App::PropertyColorList", "solid_colors", "Animation", "list of colors for each solid") the property wont appear under "Animation". The property is created t...

Hello. It depends on what you want the marker for. If you would like to create a joint, you do not need to create the markers as these are added while the joint is created. Simply click on the joint and then select reference geometries from the two bodies you would like to connect. The markers are a...

import random doc = App.ActiveDocument obj = doc.Compound transparency = 0.2 newcolors = [] for solid in obj.Shape.Solids: color = (random.uniform(0,1),random.uniform(0,1),random.uniform(0,1), transparency) for face in solid.Faces: newcolors.append(color) obj.ViewObject.DiffuseColor = newcolors Thi...

Hi. Have a look at the latest version of my FreeCAD-MBDyn "Motion Workbench". It is now a nice assembly workbench as well as a MbD software. Yes, yet another assembly workbench, but hopefully from the video you will be convinced it is quite a powerful one! You can download the model (all t...

That's weird. I thought I'd already posted this - but if I did, it didn't take: import random doc = App.ActiveDocument obj = doc.getObject("ELEMENT_rigid_body_1") shp = obj.Shape solids = shp.Solids transparency = 0.2 colors = [(random.uniform(0,1),random.uniform(0,1),random.uniform(0,1),...

Setting the colors of individual faces would also work if I could know to which solid each face belongs. That, I know how to do. solids = shp.Solids for j, face in enumerate(shp.Faces): solid = shp.ancestorsOfType(face, Part.Solid)[0] for i, s in enumerate(solids): if s.isEqual(solid): print(f'Face...

@josegegas obj = doc.getObject("Compound") [x.ViewObject.ShapeColor for x in obj.OutList] lists the shape colors of the compound's contents. This works with compounds made using part boolean operations. My compound is a simple copy of these. When I do: obj = doc.getObject("Compound&q...
