Re: Bounding box driven parametric design for woodworkers/cabinet makers, and the others
If you use only planar faces for your cabinets it should be possible to create a datamodel of all faces, edges,vertexes with the topological properties and relations. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25092 the next step can be a list of constraints between related subobjects. Th...

Bounding box/Spaces driven parametric design for woodworkers/cabinet makers, and the others
Hi, Still looking for an improved/the best cabinet design methodology, I'm know thinking (inspired by other specialized softwares, I must admit !) it would be nice to have a kind of bounding box driven design system like in: * draw a box (Arch Space, I'm looking at you !) * select the box and run co...

Re: Hard time creating a Detail View
The thing is that the detail viewport is not visible at view creation and on ly appears when moved (not even resized), seems it's what lost me on first try. I get the circle on the source view right away, unless there is nothing visible in the detail. I guess DVDetail should update the Source view ...

Re: Hard time creating a Detail View
Hi, The cryptic error messages are trying to say that there is nothing in the detail view. It doesn't have anything to do with what you selected. With the default values of radius=10 and anchor = (0,0) the detail viewport is right in the middle of the central "hole" in the sketch. If you s...

Hard time creating a Detail View
Hi, Writing this message because I'm struggling with the creation of a detail view. Whatever I select first (a part view, part view + page, an object in the part view to try to center the "focus"), I get a "Bnd_Box is void" error and "INFO - DVD::execute - testBox is void&qu...

Using properties of the same object in expressions
Hi, Maybe this is an obvious one but, is it possible/how to set properties of an object with expressions using other properties of the same object ? Examples: * I'd like to position an object with expressions using it's own dimensions; something like x = self.Length / 2 * I'd like to use a "Thi...

... Agreed, but who will do it? ;) Please search the tracker first, it may exist already... Politeness made me leave this for the OP ;) Made a few searches with what I thought to be relevant keywords but couldn't find existing issues, so here it is https://freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=3414 Co...
