Re: Updating wiki documentation and tutorials for 0.17 and PartDesign Next

Thanks NormandC.
I'll check out Renato's sandbox and prepare some drafts on my sandbox as well.
By looking at the current status of the project, we are taking a turn for the better in FreeCAD. Can't wait for the new changes in FEM to be merged into master, specifically GMSH support.

Updating wiki documentation and tutorials for 0.17 and PartDesign Next

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I've been reading the changes in the different development subforums that we have (specifically FEM) and the new uses of PartDesign Next. I'm interested in discussing if it's a worthwhile endeavor to start documenting the new workbench and updating/replacin...

Re: Allow DWG-Files as Attachments

Doesn't the good old trick of appending .txt or .zip to the filename permit attaching the files work for DWG?

Re: Better mesh last instead of mesh first?

I changed the FEM tutorial in this regard but drei changed it back. I did not do it again. The plan was to do an more sophisticated tutorial but was never done ... Sorry about that. :oops: Looking back I never understood the reason for creating the mesh last in your tutorial. I wrote from my experi...

Re: Embedding videos on the forum?

What do you think about adding a video embedding feature to the forum? Good idea, as long as videos as hosted elsewhere preferrably. I'm just visualizing the worst case scenario where the storage of the server is completely filled with videos, but if they are of a sufficiently small size hosting th...

Updating CompileOnUnix

It seems CompileOnUnix needs some love. I'll make use of the couple of free hours that I have at the moment to polish it up a bit. A few things I'd like to get approval/input on: Removing the Compile OpenCascade section. Information is outdated, and I believe it does not fit correctly. We would need...

[Issue identified] [Workaround found] [FreeCAD 0.16] SMESH Error

Update I've detected that the issue lies with some sort of incompatibility between FreeCAD 0.16 (most likely SMESH, it always is SMESH :| ) code and OCCT7. Switching to OCE (git master) has solved the issue for the time being. Currently compiling at 36%. If anyone is interested in investigating mor...

Wanting to spread the word about FreeCAD, need suggestions

Hi everyone, Hopefully you are all doing well. Based on some comments that I've read spread amongst different topics such as the FreeCAD on the web post, I feel like writing a bit about FreeCAD. Given that we are way past the release date of 0.16, I think a press release at this point would not have...
