Re: Face array

Hi wangnick/Sebastian! I suggest you use Lattice2's Array Attached Placement tool. It is similar to toposeries, but it doesn't stress FreeCAD as much as TopoSeries tool does, and it creates an array of placements that you can then use multiple times (to place lenses for leds, for example). I still h...

Re: Sketcher: hide Snell's law by default.

Re: Make Draft -> Pointarray use orientation of points?

Appears Lattice2 doesn't understand mesh objects and the color is not displayed. yes, exactly. Lattice2 copies only the shapes, it doesn't copy meshes and colors. I would like to add link-arrays for assembly-sort of stuff. Maybe Assembly4 can do it? i haven't ventured there, i don't know if it even...

Re: Lattice2 PD pattern behavior

Hi all! Sorry i haven't replied - i don't hang out on the forum these days, and mentions were not set up to give me an email notification (but from now on, they are). The reason for this behavior is that the first kite is used as the "handle" to grab the pocket by (aka reference placement)...

Re: Objects on surface

Dart size is automatically chosen based on pick radius and camera zoom. You can temporarily increase or decrease the pick radius, it's in Edit->Preferences->Display->3d view. I can add a field to the dialog for controlling that.

Re: Lattice2 mininum enclosing Bounding Box by python script

ah, yeah, these commands aren't logged to console. Here's a workaround: After you have created an attached placement, go to properties, select MapMode, and click three-dots button there. You'll get attachment dialog. Do something, click OK, and a bunch of commands will appear in py console. The one ...

Re: Lattice2 mininum enclosing Bounding Box by python script

It's in FreeCAD. The important stuff is in Part.AttachEngine, but just the constructors of App.Placement should get you covered in most cases.
