Hi @apeltrauer, is this something you mind assisting with? Thanks in advance!

Edit: to elaborate, is there a way perhaps via CMake that such a workaround, stated above, could be more permanent?
I will have a look at this on Monday. If it’s just coping 2 dlls we could make it with cmake.

Re: Compile on Win 7-30-19

Wow! With MSVC 2017 the CMake configurations works out of the box (CMake 3.14.1). Only the option BUILD_QT5 to create a Qt5 build is missing. Can this be activated by default for the next libpack version? Qt 5 build should be set to ON if cmake finds the file "${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/lib/Qt5Cor...

Re: Compile on Win 7-30-19

Another try would be to set a environment variable to point to your lib pack. The variable is called "FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR" --> point to your lib pack. Works for me... You can also start a command line and set it temporary and then start your cmake gui: set FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR=PathToMyLibPa...

Re: Compile on Win 7-30-19

I just locked at your output file and i think it is a little bit short. Can you check again if this is all of the output?!? Also can you copy and past the output the cmake gui is producing?
Could you also test if it works if go back to the older lib pack 12.1.2?

D:\FreeCAD-build\FreeCADLibs_12.1.3_x64_VC15\include\boost
I think

Code: Select all

FreeCADLibs_12.1.3_x64_VC15\include\boost
is the correct include dir for boost.
Can you post your whole cmake output?

Re: shadows in the freecad viewport

In the past I also was searching how e.g. Blender displays the orange silhouette around objects and found that it's done by the stencil buffer. But I wonder how exactly OCC wants to use this information to improve the HLR algorithms. Can you post a link to the bug tracker entry, please? https://tra...

Re: shadows in the freecad viewport

Can we get the shadow shape somehow in the scene graph and can convert this shadow to an occ shape? No, you can't. Just thinking about a outer silhouette of a part... If you need this then have a look at Part.Shape.reflectLines Short answer to this and then i am out... :) All Hidden Line Removel al...

Re: shadows in the freecad viewport

In the FreeCAD core system we have the command to render in different draw styles (no shading, wireframe, ...) and we could add it there. However, at the moment the shadow function is a bit unrealistic because when you move or rotate the model then the shadow follows which means that the light sour...
