Re: My take on the FreeCAD GUI

I have spent the last months thinking about how I would like the FreeCAD GUI to look like. Here is my take on the FreeCAD GUI. I have created wireframes for all the important gui features. The goal of this mockup is to come up with a revolutionary UI that is better than that of Fusion360. The reaso...

Not got that far, just trying import gmsh from FreeCAD python console. As far as I know if gmsh is installed to one of the directories

You just have to have patience and wait for Chris to get back from holiday and hopefully can fix Oh I was planning to try to fix it myself to get re-acquainted with the source code. Do you think this is best to be left to Chris? If you feel confident making the changes go for it. Would not be diffi...
