Hi,

attached is a package of macros for initial parametric parts: profiles L and U, round and rectangular tube, and round bar (which is basically equal to cylinder primitive).

Please, test it a little and let me know what you think.

This discussion escalated far beyond what I initially imagined. Building a repository of models that can be easily shared is a good thing, but i still think that having 5..10 raw parametric parts that are commonly used in engineering and are easily accessible through menu, makes work a lot easier th...

Hi, I have been looking a bit into openPLM and that might be a good idea to use in the future. Never thought of Github - honestly I don't really know how to use it (I am a mechanical engineer by profession - but I also do some python programming for FEM codes). If someone is willing to set up such a...

Hi,

I thin it would be good to provide some standard parts (profiles, tubes...) with FreeCAD.
Parts should be fully parametric and so easy to change.

Attached are examples for U and L-profile and rectangular tube.
