Hello, need help in understanding the process by which I can create the rotated slits in a fin tube radiator cover. Here at our shop we cut a slit and then bend the metal in to create the gap where heat can escape. I am trying to figure out how I can do that with FreeCAD. I've attached my drawing, ...

Hi, I am really new in FreeCAD and learn by YT Tutorials right now. Here is something that does not work for me, even it looks really really simple on YT. I want to make a drawing out of my construction, which is just a 380mm x 580mm x 2mm plate with some holes right now. So I open the TechDraw WB,...

If you just want to recognize flipped normals: Mesh_FlipNormals#Notes.

Yes there are several ways to accomplish flipping them...but, seeing them so you can decide=de IF they need flipping is the question.

While working with .dat data import and using Curved Shapes workbench I found knowing the direction of the normal is important. In Blender this is easy, you just turn on "view polygon normals", and it shows little arrows indicating the orientation of the normal to the faces, edges, etc. The only thi...

For inverted face, I saw that too: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48305 For the scope allowed issue, it's because you're using sketches from a body. It's better to keep your sketches inside a group. Unfortunately the surface feature doesn't work here. I've learned that the normal ...

edge = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.View002.getEdgeByIndex(0) edge.Curve.Radius edge.Curve.Location The location seems to be relative to the center of the view. Yeah I eventual put that together. My ultimate goal is to get the info on a user selected object (so I was cheating by knowing the index 8-) ) S...

My goal is to write a script where the user selects an edge (in this particular case it's a circle displayed in a view in a TechDraw page) I want to access the center point and the radius. I have done this by hand at the python console, but I used: myobj.FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.View.getEdgeByIndex(4)...

Not sure why either of these happen. Part::FeaturePython / CurvedArray: Links go out of the allowed scope I can see from the dependency graph that the curved array IS outside the Body. But it does not throw the warning when the array is made, only after subsequent operations (like changing the Solid...

... myObj = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.getObject('Edge4') print(myObj.TypeID) Edges are not objects. Edges are subelements inside objects. So, when I click on a circle in a TechDraw page view the status bar shows something like: <doc name>.ProjItem006.Edge4 How do I find the coordinates of the center o...
