Re: FOSDEM, FreeCAD day and hackathon 2024

I might attend at least FreeCAD day and FOSDEM, maybe also earlier for hackathon if there is anyone to talk shop on IFC and BIM. Blender Studio visit sounds amazing, but can't make it due to other obligations. Hackathon goes on for only two days - 31 Jan and 1 Feb - according to https://hsbxl.be, co...

Re: FreeCAD (& free CAE) User Conference 2023 Announcement

Is registration still possible? Unfortunately I am not able to get it working. On the hopin event page top I see "Now live! Are you attending? Enter event". When I reach the actual registration page, there is one option ("Free") which is however marked as "Closed". When...

Stale links in automatic Python modules documentation

I am not sure where to post this, so this seems to be the most appropriate place until someone moves it somewhere else. I found that the automatic Python modules documentation has stale links for the FreeCADGui submodules, because the containing module is not included in the URL. For example, the Se...

Re: [IFC EXPORT] Strange behavior on export

I think, when a beam is created, nodes are converted to the internal model with second node at (length, 0,0) and rotation, hence beam axis rotated to local x-axis. Then subsequently, only length and rotation are used for shape generation. This file looks as if at one point, shapes where generated di...

Re: [IFC EXPORT] Strange behavior on export

Thinking again about the previous observation: If the structure would extend towards (-4010,0,0), it would end up in the right place. See screenshot below with rotation set to 0. Node coordinates are (0,0,0) and (-4010,0,0), but shape endpoints are at (0,0,0) and (4010,0,0). Thus the given rotation ...

Re: [IFC EXPORT] Strange behavior on export

In my judgement, this does not have anything to do with IFC export. Just force recomputation with App.ActiveDocument.Structure027.touch() and you will see the wall flip. Alternatively edit any value (position or the like) by entering the same value again. To me it looks like an outdated (out of sync...

Re: Part compound vs. Std Part

I was wondering the same, found this thread useful and want to add another observation, even though the discussion here happened some time ago. A child of Part compound is allowed to be appear in multiple compounds. This is not true for Std Part. Std Part kind of "owns" its children and th...

Re: Python workbenches debugging

I think I figured out what is happening with PyCharm on Ubuntu. Usually, it should be possible to attach to processes with embedded Python, not just Python interpreters ( PyCharm issue 14181 ). But it seems this is broken, since it currently tries to use the executable (e.g. FreeCAD) as Python inter...

Re: Python workbenches debugging

I think the problem is that FreeCAD does not recognize the `--port` flag. How did you solve it? I have not seen this issue, but I have only used the PyCharm debugging on Windows so far and also not tried with the latest FreeCAD version. I will try and see whether I can reproduce this behavior on Ub...
