I do not use it. Would be good to have an useful example file which shows what this is useful for. I looked in the source code and it seems like you coded it, amirite? No I only fixed bugs, moved code around and did code formatting, the initial 1c927818 for gmsh mesh object click on parent commits ...

does it work for you on a simple part box?

Okay I tried to see if I creating a Mesh for a simple GDML Object i.e. implemented as a FreeCAD Python Object. When in FEM workbench. Have it selected then click on Mesh icon window pops up with Apply | Cancel | OK but before I get to try Apply I get a message in Report View Fem::FemMeshObjectPytho...

would you send the file you tested with, a link to the code you used and you freecad version info. than we could try to reproduce your problem

if a solid is exported as brep it is just a bunch of faces. this is not smart because noone knows the thickness and the height of the wall later on. If it is exported as extrusion it is a line or polyline with a thickness and an extrusion length in z-direction. If a wall is not exported as extrusion...

Or do we need a github or gitlab?

This is for sure the best method to share code.

I assume that the programs that produce Meshes take as input a single Part. What do you mean by a single Part? If you mean a single Solid, than no. If you nean a single Shape than yes the mesher could only handle one Shape. But a Shape could be a Compound and a Compound could be made from everythin...

I had to put it all together by recycling other functions from the code, which is maybe not the best way of development :-) :mrgreen: ... it is exactly the same way I hav...
