FreeCAD does not load IFC file from a BIMServer revision

Hi, I'm using the Web Tools workbench that connects to my local BimServer instance. The ifc files that I export from FreeCAD to the BIM server load without problems, but when I click on a revision that I have already uploaded and click on the Open button, FreeCAD asks me where to save the file but n...

Timeline based on change history

Hello, a very important feature would be to add a timeline with icons based on the operation history, as it could help detect where and when certain features were modified. This could be part of a workbench or a macro. I don't know if it is already done, but it would be important to know if it alrea...

FreeCAD is closed by throwing the following error. Att...

Re: New Raytracing Workbench for POV-Ray

Currently this is not supported, but the HDRI tab is nearly finished and I think, this is an important feature; I will add this soon :) Please let us know when you publish it. On the other hand it would be interesting if in the future you support the material and multi-material properties of FreeCA...

Re: New Raytracing Workbench for POV-Ray

Hi, since FreeCAD objects support materials and textures through the Arch texture workbench, I would like to know if this workbench allows exporting such texture already configured in the object. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njp61PWWotE

Thanks

Re: Parametric modelled Vs Direct modelled Vs Synchronous technology

Very interesting is the example of direct editing. It would be appropriate to have some workbench to design pieces under direct editing. I think that combining part, draft could be achieved. I hope there are several interested in this type of modeling.

Greetings

Parametric modelled Vs Direct modelled Vs Synchronous technology

Hi, let me open a discussion on 3D modeling technologies. Parametric modeling has long been the forerunner of several programs used in the industry. But I have been looking at some sites and researching about other modeling techniques or technologies and it seems to me that parametric modeling as we...

Re: Organize various cuts in sheet [Arch Nest]

Here is a free application to test https://deepnest.io/ maybe its source code could be useful to improve freecad. See https://github.com/Jack000/Deepnest/tree/master/main

Re: Organize various cuts in sheet [Arch Nest]

If I've noticed it's been a while since it's been updated. I'm sure there must be several algorithms out there, even for organizing 3D objects in 3D spaces, like boxes in a container that travel on ships. Hopefully this task will be taken up again for algorithm improvements, I think it's very import...
