Can someone point to this guy's work,

[*] Showcase the guy who designed his house using FreeCAD

Very nice. I got it to start from Jupyter and I can control it from Jupyter.

Just curious, I couldn't find the file "%init_freecad".

Where is this file and what does it contain ?

thanks

I am trying to follow realthunder's instructions to start Freecad from Jupyter, python -m jupyter notebook Jupyter starts, but I don's get the option to start a new "FreeCAD" kernel. The command line text includes; " E:\Program Files\FreeCAD-asm3-Stable-Win64-Py3-Qt5-20210519\bin>pyth...

When I enter your specified comand, I get the error: C:\freecadLink\FreeCAD-asm3-Daily-Win64-Py3-Qt5-20210311\bin>python -m jupyter notebook Fatal error in laun...

Running your code from jupyter, freecad will start and function, but then jupyter will not accept any keyboard inp...

In your preferences you have grid setting main grid every 1 line, change it to 10..... HTH Steve. Ignore this post my bad :oops: This was the key to fixing my problem with no grid. If your settings are main grid lines every = 1, then you will see no grid. Maybe we need to restrict this setting. Rand

Thanks for your help. I was able to access FC through Jupyter. I entered the commands below. After that FC started and the FreeCAD and App objects were available. I think this could be a very powerful interface to FC. Rand "" import sys, os os.environ["QT_API"] = "pyside&quo...

Has Anyone successfully connected to FC thru Jupyter ?
If yes, could you share the procedure.

I tried using the module at:

without success.

thanks

Thanks for the reply. I am going to check this out.

Should this script be run from an external python interpreter or from inside freecad ?
