Re: More a Maths question than a FreeCAD one.

The angle between the cone axis and a line on its surface should be arccos(1-p), if I am not mistaken.

(p is your percentage expressed as a ratio, so 40% is 0.4)

Re: Raytracing error

I deleted my previous two posts. It was all my bad. I was trying to render a scene before adding any objects to the povray project. If I add objects first, everything works like a charm. Thanks for your patience.

Re: Raytracing error

My POV-Ray output parameters in the Raytracing Preferences window are
+P +A
I don't think the +O parameter ever was there.

I have tried raytracing with the new release candidate and I am still getting the raytracing error on Windows, which was supposed to be fixed recently. I have put more details into the raytracing thread:

Re: Any nearer to FreeCAD 0.14 going GA.

Why is there OCC version 6.6.0? I was hoping we would get 6.7.1 with the new release.

Re: Raytracing error

This works. The only weird thing is that it creates a file called raytrace.bmp.png, if that's of any importance.

Re: Doubts on getting the center of mass and inertia matrix

You have to call
Inercia.Calc_Inercia("Soporte_Superior",1)
or use
from Inercia import Calc_Inercia
