I like this new page. Feels easier to find what you are looking for when you see it all at once. If you divide up the information into many pages, then must new users know what to look for before they know what they're looking for. Gets a little like searching information by looking through a straw....

Hello there! I now have a script ready but it needs to be polished. The script assumes that the user has updated the configuration to local conditions. ;) You have been warned! A demo is up on YouTube . It got 2:18 minutes long and took about an hour to generate. The script: #***********************...

Thanks wmayer! You gave me some ideas and solutions to work with. Right now I hacks on a script that creates a nice animation through screenshots and "avconv" but takes a long time to render. This deviates from the original objective to make an animation in real time. :? I'll be back with the script...

Hello! I have created my first Python script, a assembly animation. :geek: =NOT As I am new to Python programming there are probably better ways to write this code. Limitations: The current version only supports installation in pure X, Y or Z directions. As the script is written the speed falls with...

I finally solved this by trial and error. ( :geek: = NOT ) I began compiling FreeCAD from Git. To my great surprise, I succeeded. But this did not help my little problem. Tried with all wmayer proposed code snippets. Discovered by accident that one of them worked in Phyton console, but not if it was...
