There are construction kits such as Meccano for imperial measurements and Eitech for metric measurements, as well as LEGO, all of which have a library of standard parts. Given that Parts, PartDesign and Assembly 4 are becoming mature, wouldn't it be great to develop a FreeCAD library based on Parts,...

I am glad to see that FreeCAD 0.19 has finally be released, and that Assembly 4 is becoming usable. So in assembly 4, how can one implement loose fit, transition fit and interference fit? It would be great if the workbench and the assembly data structure has a way to specify loose fit and interferen...

Hi, I just had a look at the Assembly 4 tutorial: https://github.com/Zolko-123/FreeCAD_Examples/blob/master/Asm4_Tutorial1/README.md I feel that Assembly 4 is the most scalable way as it does not require the computation-intensive solver. The tutorial talks about attachment offset etc. So if a user w...

I've heard some good work in Assembly 3. I just wonder whether loose and interference fit modelling will be supported in Assembly 3? If not, then do we have allowance in the current data structure so that disruptive data structure changes are not required if such support were to be implemented in th...

I am currently working on ActiveContainer, but before I continue, I would like to learn first about how ActiveView works, in order to have a full understanding about the rationale of ActiveView, what it does, and how ActiveContainer can complement ActiveView. Could anyone point to a place which expl...

DeepSOIC: It is all right, but could you please read my above post about the interaction between activecontainer and activeview?

I need to sort this out to rebase our activecontainer branch onto the current trunk.

DeepSOIC: Can you see the reason that our activecontainer still fails to go to the parent of the current container and let us create the new body? Also, I have just tried to rebase my ActiveContainer branch to the current master, but the rebase conflicts when the system applies my commit "PartD...

add directly to the document if the new object is not accepted by the current active container as a child Makes sense, but it doesn't seem to work for Body? For example, create a new document, click on part design "new body" command. Now the "new body" command is disabled and ca...

First impressions: 1. Part Design, create Part, create Sketch now creates new body inside the Part. I think that is a good improvement. 2. All geometry objects are added to the active Part. I think this is also good. 3. I don't like that you have to a deactivate a body before being able to create a...

Hmm, are you aware that we already use AppVeyor for a long time? No.... I didn't notice AppVeyor. Thanks for letting me know. I notice that AppVeyor is free for open source project, so I can set one up for my open source project (such as my branch) too. In this way, if any of my commit breaks windo...
