Re: The FreeCAD Project Association

Okay, so I understand we want an e-shop right away? :D There are a lot of possibilities we can do with the FPA. My own idea is mostly to start small and not get in the way of FreeCAD, and see how it grows, but yes, I think many companies will welcome that and we could use the FPA to help companies ...

freecad spreadsheet export loses units

When I export a spreadsheet to CSV the units included in the value cell are not exported, and consequently when reimported there are no units either. Is there some way to overcome this? I realise I can copy and paste but this rather defeats the purpose of the import/export functionality, especially ...

Python Versions for FreeCAD vs Blender

I understand that FreeCAD 0.19 requires Python 3 and QT5. Blender on the other hand is still using Python 2 and supplies its own interpreter as part of the installation. How do I ensure FreeCAD is using the appropriate versions of Python and QT? Are they the library entries in the about information?...

Re: FCStd format documentation

This is not wikipedia. Unless you have an account on the Wiki (which I don't have), you can't modify or improve the pages. In the wiki page, it's mainly a dump of an XML file with no description whatsoever about what element are in there and why. If you have an account, please feel free to copy my ...

Re: FreeCAD BIM Doors become Windows in the tree

Thanks all. I had followed the Arch tutorial years ago and now, returning to it I can see that using the presets in the window option does produce the desired result of a component in the tree named Door, although the labelling of other attributes is now in what looks like Portuguese. The native dep...

Re: FreeCAD BIM Doors become Windows in the tree

Yes it is rather confusing.
French doors are very suitable, unfortunately the structure we are building is a rolled steel clad shed with roller doors! :mrgreen:

Re: FreeCAD BIM Doors become Windows in the tree

Roy 043, You feel having two tools that produce the same output, except for default size, is appropriate? The first thing my students will ask me is "Why does it do that?" The second will be "Why can't it produce a label Door for the Door tool?" Thanks Thomas, Tonight I don't see...

Re: FreeCAD BIM Doors become Windows in the tree

Hi Thomas,
Here is the file I started in Link Branch (it does the same in Master) although I don't think the file will be much assistance.
The only difference between Door and Window tools seems to be the default size. They both place an element labelled Window in the walls.
Cheers
Paul
