Re: Does FreeCAD have tools or python code to create geometric models through input functions and boundaries?

Unfortunately, I can only model with implicit equations Why? Is it because there exists no parameter representation of the implicit surface you want to use? No. What I want to do is to enter an implicit equation in an input box and then model it, and I don't know in advance what the model represent...

there should be a way to export the cacluated surfaces to meshes and reimport them into FreeCAD.
Is it possible to integrate mayavi into FreeCAD?So I don't have to do import and export operations.

Re: Does FreeCAD have tools or python code to create geometric models through input functions and boundaries?

Attached is an extension of the curve creation macro to create surfaces instead. The representation of surfaces must also be given in parameter form. Implicit functions (i.e. F(x,y,z) = 0) are not supported. This means when you want to create a sphere you have to enter: X(u,v) = 10*sin(u)*cos(v) Y(...

As far as I know, this is just a place to save arguments or expressions, and it doesn't have modeling capabilities.

Does FreeCAD have tools or python code to create geometric models through input functions and boundaries?

I'd like to add a feature for FreeCAD that creates a model by entering a function and a boundary.Do you know any tools or packages that can do this?For example, if I want to create a sphere, I can enter the formula X ^ 2 + Y ^ 2 + Z ^ 2-4 and give the scope of the model to prevent the model from bei...

How to change one property to a sub-property of another property ?

I want to set a PropertyEnumeration to a sub-property of a PropertyVectorDistance.
Or set a same parent property for the PropertyEnumeration and PropertyVectorDistance .
All I want to do is bind these two properties.
How can I do it?

How can I build a section of a Annular?

I want to build a model like the picture as followed. This model named Annular_Section, which was defined with four points and two radius. The ANNULAR_SECTION will produce an arc section of an annulus of rectangular cross section. Specify the two end points of the annular axis, Point1 and Point2, fo...

Sorry, I didn't notice it.
I consider that I'm going to add a new Modeling function in FreeCAD by using python. I thought that it was a developer topic.
