Re: Google Summer of Code 2021 - Call for ideas

Here are a couple of ideas I have: [General] Add a "save as" option to save as .FCStd.d (uncompressed folder) I looked a bit into this, it is largely implemented on realthunder's branch (but for sure could use improvement such as better BREP handling ): https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/...

Re: We Need Text-based File Format

OP, If you look into one of the threads you linked they mention setting up git to use a rezip tool which uncompresses compressed files, to allow git to do its magic. The best rezip tool I've found is hoijui/ReZipDoc . You can set this up for FreeCAD & git, right now! Try it. I'm more fond of rea...

Re: Assembly3 preview

Please help me know if there is a way to reduce memory consumption. Nevermind, looks like re-importing the STEP model with this Assembly3 branch helped significantly. Real world example here . 205 unique parts (but multiple instances of many parts, approximately 260 or so rendered parts). Non-Assem...

Re: BOM (Bill Of Materials) function

One question: Is it possible to disable python code execution in spreadsheets if i get files from untrusted sources ? I would like an option to not open scripted/spreadsheet files, so if I happen to click on one from a user it won't open. What do you mean by "scripted/spreadsheet files"? ...

Re: BOM (Bill Of Materials) function

My take on the bill of materials, which uses a 3D model as input (not technical drawings) See this video on Product Breakdown Structure (PBS): How to Organize Your Project with a PBS System - Marble Machine X #57 (sample PBS document and analytics document below video) I have extended their work, to...

Re: Turbomachinery Blade Design

Can you provide a step by step flow chart from meridional data all way up to the sections ? At present no, I'm still figuring things out. I'm unable to get my design to converge using T-AXI, I suspect I may have to edit the *.twal file. Until I get my design to work I'm not too confident about writ...

Re: Turbomachinery Blade Design

Here's another great piece of literature using T-AXI (MSc Thesis): Soumitr Dey - Wind Turbine Blade Design System – Aerodynamic and Structural Analysis . I made a FreeCAD script automating the Kaplain method to make streamlines from the LE/TE blade angles and the streamline in the meridional plane. ...

Re: Segmentation Fault when scripting sketcher

maybe this one: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=15464 Thank you very much! This got rid of the segfault. I'm using slim & openbox. "Waldorf" theme on openbox (IDK if that matters). All I had to do was change the stylesheet in FreeCAD's preferences from "No stylesheet...

Re: Segmentation Fault when scripting sketcher

I didn't use a debug build of freecad, but I could still get a backtrace. The stack looks kinda huge. I guess it may be an issue with Qt?https://github.com/AndrewSmart/gist/blob/master/gdb.txt I updated freecad-daily to the latest (2017/11/14) and still seg-faults: OS: Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 (jessie) ...
