Hello FreeCAD community, I would like to know more about objects in freecad. Is it possible to create a basic container object with custom python properties in the object tree, if possible in python? My idea is to create something like geometrical sets in CATIA that could contain geometry and perfor...

Hello FreeCAD community, I haven't been active on the forum for a long time because I finished my studies. I come from a CATIA V5 environment and would like to know more about the use of parameters in FreeCAD and more specificly in Part Design. In the past couple of months I often came across parts ...

Thank you very much for your answers and help. I didn't manage to get the icons shown with the shown method though. I had to find another way and I finally solved the problème with the icons by using: FreeCADGui.addIconPath(":/Mod/Surface/Icon") and creating a directory Surface/Icon in the...

Hello, I am have been experimenting around with freecad the last couple of weeks and I would like to create a workbench with a few python scripts I made. But I can't get the commands to show in the interface I always get the message: "Unknown <name of the command> command " I followed the ...

Hello Sal I went through your sections manually and edited each skecth to see where the wire was open. The SK_Fuse_Sta_9-2 is open at the top (the highest point along the z axis, they are not joined), I hope it solves your problem.

Hello everybody, I recently had to work on a group project for school and a question came to me about FreeCAD: How is it planed to handle multiple users working on the same project in FreeCAD. For our project we used CATIA which does allow group working on part files as they are all disconnected fro...

Here is the result http://imageshack.us/a/img526/9966/mouserear.th.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img210/5043/mousefront.th.jpg It was quite fun modelling this ite...

I should have posted more explanations on how to use it, I'm sorry normandc. The file to run is actually the one called DigPanel.py. I added a small README.txt to the zip hoping it would be enough but it doesn't seem to be. To run the macro you need to select the faces you want to skip and then run ...

Hi guys, first of all, thank you for the quick answers and the VERY helpful bits of code. I finally made it, I managed to get the operation in the right order. I did not implement any features to prevent broken shapes to be produced, but it is planned. As there are 3 files I made a zip file with the...

Hello everyone I am currently working on a small macro (written in python). My target is to make asort of dig tool which allows one to select a set of faces to skip and then the shape gets digged in letting just a given thickness over the remaining faces. A bit like CATIA's shell tool. I've been str...
