You could also use draft workbench:


App.newDocument("new")

Gui.activateWorkbench("DraftWorkbench")
import Draft

for vertexNum, vertex in enumerate(vertices):
	p=Draft.makePoint(vertex[0],vertex[1],vertex[2])
	p.Label=str(vertexNum)

thanks to this post I'm now able to import the vertices as tuples with

Code: Select all

r1 = re.search(r'vertices\s*\(\s*(.*)\s*\)', s, re.DOTALL)
vertices = [(float(v[0]),float(v[1]),float(v[2]))
        for v in re.findall(r'\(\s*([0-9.]+)\s+([0-9.]+)\s+([0-9.]+)\s*\)', r1.group(1))]

print(vertices)

happy to see that you liked the idea.
I'm trying, but I'm no expert! a little bit of help here and here would be highly appreciated.

There is no mesh yet. The issue is that usually blockMesh is not able to compile the blockMeshDict files. visualisation helps to see the problems. So far I'm able to read the blockMeshDict file by: import os os.chdir(os.path.dirname(__file__)) with open("blockMeshDict", "r") as f...

First step we can implement a simple Python 2.7 script which reads the blockMeshDict file, looks for vertices keyword (which shouldn't be after // or in between /* ... */) and reads the list of tuples (x,y,z) in the parentheses after the keyword. Then creates points, for example in Draft workbench, ...

Thanks. I did not know about the CFD section. The feature I'm requesting is to import and modify OpenFOAM's blockMeshDict as explained here.

Is there any option to display label of an object next to it? For example if I create some points in Draft workbench and assign some labels, I want to see those labels next to the points. Is this possible? P.S.1. I posted this question also here on Reddit P.S.2. Follow up on this issue here in Stack...

Hello Everyone, Following this reddit post I was advised to ask feature request here in the forum. It would be great if we could have a plugin like CadQuery's module where on one panel we could edit the blockMeshDict source code and then update the view. And there could be a live preview option to r...

OK, I figured the problem out. you may see the correct macro here in this Github Gist explanation: Basically the solution is that when we want to run a Boolean operation on two existing objects we should not change their visibility to false (as the default GUI commands do). If we include those comma...

I'm trying to learn FreeCAD python scripting. Basically I open the python console and do what I want to do in the GUI and then look into the python console to learn the commands. and then read the API for that specific task to learn the correct form of python commands. Things were going fine till I ...
