Thanks Joel, I already went through searching how that WSL work on your first advice. It seems to be a good solution for me since Visual Studio since 2017 version has that capability of compiling through WSL or other virtual OS. I already set up WSL on windows and pulled Ubuntu 20.04. Trying to figu...

I haven't run Windows in years - only Linux - so I can't really test until a cross-platform solution can get worked out. I've historically had trouble maintaining a development machine which is really why I've avoided using C++ entirely. I used to write in it a lot - C++ is probably my favorite lan...

[/quote] cross plattform is esentiell for FreeCAD as all major systems are widely used. [/quote] I'm conscious of this fact, but for me it means learning CMake and instaling a Linux platform for testing. Two more new topics .... For the start i will stick to Visual Studio, an IDE i'm used to, and ju...

I have that code written in managed c# at the moment, i'll give a try to port it to a c++ dll. I'm not sure of the success, because i'm quiet a newbie in c++. I'll get back to you when i reach a first usable library, it might take some time .... Keep us posted on progress on this! Hi Joel and Kunda...

Of course, that doesn't mean this will always be the case, so I realize I may have to start moving computationally intensive routines to C++, or rebuild the workbench entirely in C++. I'm adverse to doing that, however, as it greatly impacts development time and complicates the process. Let me try ...

I'm currently doing all of my development in Python, FYI. I have yet to encounter significant performance issues to require me to shift to C++ I figured out you were working in Python, but there are some algorithms that are quite processor consuming in my library, like the projection of a point on ...

I'll take a closer look at what you developed. I've really only developed things just enough to work for my purposes, so I've no doubt there's a number of shortcomings. Always happy to have additional help, though I think this task might be a bit daunting for most folks to get involved. :) All the ...

Hi Joel, I'm also a civil enginer working in trackworks for 30 years now. And just like you, i'm a bit disapointed by the leading Alignment softwares from Bentley or AutoDesk. I just discovered FreeCAD, it's amazing capabilities, and the workbrench you are working on. I went through a developement o...
