Sorry, I had in mind the subject of this thread (Unofficial Window X64 and X32 Development Snapshots).

sgrogan - thanks for those snapshots!

And..... Happy New Year 2015 for all developers and whole FC community !!!

Now... OS: Windows 8.1 Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.15.4283 (Git) Branch: master-sgrogan-build Hash: d8722070b819af0a9ad0a2efc138a3e7decec33e Python version: 2.7.8 Qt version: 4.8.6 Coin version: 4.0.0a OCC version: 6.7.1 everything works OK !, even FEM workbench :...

Very impressive model.

I know it is a lot to do, but Blender's approach with blocks / nodes is IMO the best option.

Very good idea with this snapshots. As this are snapshots of unstable releases, it would be nice to have workbenches and functionalities that are still not ready to use (and not present in stable releases), for example assembly or animation workbenches. This would give opportunity to better test tho...

Ofcourse that would be several applications (one for each CAD system, but - firstly I wanted them to develop - all in one language and for one platform (Windows)), I hoped to have re-use most of code ("engine" + same GUI) in them. I have already made simple app ("Hello world" kin...

Those ******** make you sign up and log in just to download an otherwise free file. I would rather ignore them, do something better, ....and one day jreinhardt's idea will be the "Linux" of the CAD file download world. :) Maybe you are right, I wish you success in this project! If we are ...

@jmaustpc - I meant I wanted to make one app in C++ or C# for Windows environment for few CAD packages (not only FreeCAD, but also SW, SE and maybe also Inventor).

Well, everybody who is interested in FEM should download and install Calculix or Z88 (both multi-platform and open source). FreeCAD is great for modelling purposes and should concentrate on that. I agree, but partially ;) On the first stage of development FreeCAD should concentrate on modelling (mo...

Exactly. I recommend SI units system.
