Re: Efficiently creating array

Well the way i understand benefits of having TBB support is to see different behaviour. More than one CPU maxed out! Maybe only some "special algorithm" has TBB support and we are not using it when dealing with creation of meshes in FreeCAD? Or TBB would only be used when creating more the...

Re: Spreadsheet module

OK i did some testing and i am wondering if selecting Constraint as Target Type should already work on PPA? I am guessing no because you haven't sorted out mentioned issue? I could not get this one to work. I tested Property as Target Type on Pad and it works great! Few thoughts i had: User would/wi...

Re: Efficiently creating array

Useless, because loading and displaying a ready mesh in FreeCAD has exactly nothing to do with OCC or TBB. The point where we expected some benefit of using TBB is the *creation* of the mesh from a part object because this is something that is easy to parallelize. However, according to the observat...

Re: workbench drop down list not staying hidden after select

Yes i am still at it and i guess i will be in one way or another until better approach will be used in FreeCAD. I am not able to change this ATM because i would need to have great developer experience and ATM other devs are not interested in fundamental changing current approach (drop down) and usin...

Great. Always nice to see how FreeCAD is used to actually produce something!

Re: Efficiently creating array

Could this mesh models stress CPU enough to see if multi-core support is working viewing them? https://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/ I will try again later but for now i did not get to successfully import .ply files. The name is added to the Tree View but nothing is shown in 3D modelling area.

Re: FreeCAD and OpenCL RayTracing

We don't use opencascad's visualization module in freecad, we use coin3d instead. So unfortunately implementing this would be a tremendous work... But I agree it looks seriously cool. I see too bad. I thought OpenenGL rasterization method is used and it would be really simple to try this new mode o...

Re: Replacing Workbench ComboBox

Even if the workbenches list goes into a menu, nothing would prevent you or anyone else to code a little toolbar with a dropdown menu, that you can add to your workbench... No i do not believe drop down menu is the right tool for this job in the first place. If you are interested read trough the th...

Re: workbench drop down list not staying hidden after select

Well we had a long debate here: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5467 The only + that was mentioned would be issue or two like this one mentioned here would be removed and keyboard navigation would be possible. For everything else it does not solve current issues Workbench Switche...
