I have a large set of macros with some interesting geodesic embedding of curves into meshes implemented here that I think should be ported to use the proper FreeCAD objects instead of their own Python implementations of a mesh https://github.com/trilbytim/geodesic/tree/main/freecadmacros The output ...

The material feature should associate a UV value to each node of a mesh, and use it to look up a colour in a 2D RGB bitmap (the texture). (Using flatmesh.FaceUnwrapper we could automatically set up a mapping to 2D for any mesh.) The VertexCurvature feature creates a whole new object which basically ...

Folks, When we get a more dedicated channel (either on telegram of mastodon) I'd like to post up a short briefing about how to do an Unconference. My friend who builds the hang-gliders isn't able to come, so I've got his set of slides about making something useful from laser-cut sheet steel. https:/...

Also: The Brussels hackerspace is reserved for FreeCAD on thursday feb 2nd, so we (at least me, kkremitzky, jnxd and maybe we'll see chennes appear) will occupy the space and do some FreeCAD coding. Feel free to come if you're around! Also(2): we should setup a communication channel (telegram, matr...

I've posted a couple of ideas and am marshaling anyone I know who uses FC to get themselves along.
Maybe post a note up about this on some other channel where people are going to see it?

I think that overlaps the most people (the friday before). Just announce it, pick a place, make sure there are enough whiteboards, post-it notes, and projectors, and we can run it as an Unconference so that people who have got something to say for 20 minutes get the space to say it to the rest of us...

On my calendar that's Tuesday is 31 January. That gives Weds, Thurs, Friday. Is that the time we can just have our informal get together? Nothing needs to be organized. We just need to all show up early and be available on those days for a very ad-hoc Unconference. I was going to stay at the Meining...

You put me on the spot. I haven't got any good FreeCAD images to show off, but here's the work on the hang-glider where I am writing a lot of python scripts to make it possible to cut shapes out of the wing, flatten the panels and draw on the appropriate pen marks to send to the laser cutter Screens...

I'm definitely going. And I'm bringing a proper mechanical engineer friend who succeeds in designing hang-gliders and recently a kitchen rudder for his boat using FreeCAD, and has a good few things to say about the usability as he struggles to make the system just about work to produce the shapes an...

The answer is yes, the wiki needs to be fixed right now so that someone who is not a level 6 devops wizard can compile and develop and debug FreeCAD C++ code in an IDE! First it was the apt-get install python3-pyside-gui not working, and now this. And I'm using a plain vanilla fresh install of ubunt...
