Thanks, it would have saved me some previous time indeed!
Good to know for next time and for those who will inspire themselves from my script

Summary: Over the course of a 3.5 year cycloidal rotor aerodynamics project, I used FreeCAD to design and dimension a cycloidal rotor prototype, generate the blade surface of my computational fluid dynamics meshes, generate 3D printer input files for the prototype, and generate images for a now iss...

Hahaha, done. But the title of the thread

[an ugly and buggy script]

may still scare some

Thanks for sharing and sorry for reviving this old post but I figured someone could be interested in saving time and copying my adaptation to FreeCAD 0.20 / python3: #chain generator script updated from the original code of kwahoo from FreeCAD import Vector import math, Part, Draft, DraftGeomUtils, ...

would indeed be a nice feature

I'm not in a position to work on it, so I won't pursue with a feature request.

thanks, I'll test again tomorrow

I have to create dummy sketches to make a loft and then with python give the proper list of links, e.g. FreeCAD.getDocument('pitchLink_v4_b...
