Referring to the colours I been helped. Ok, thanks, very comfortable, I mainly I could stop here, and start tranferring all to csv. - and: did I say I could stop? I need the orientation of each side maybe referring to a wand initially assigned (maybe a gui-colour tag I guess) as "north wand&quo...

Hello, it hard for me to get orientation within the object/class model of that library or freecad. For example I did: >>> print FreeCADGui.getDocument("Unnamed").getObject("Shape").Object.Shape.Faces[3].Area 12000.0 >>> print FreeCADGui.getDocument("Unnamed").getObject(...

Great help!
Thanks.

You are making a big mixup of everything... The getSelectionEx() returns a list of selection objects, not the FreeCAD objects themselves.

Hello, here I am again, with my hello world attempt.

And - as I guess there are many ways - what would be a guideline to draw such an object/house? Hm that's a too vast question to give a simple answer. But I'm currently writing a tutorial on that, actually... yes thank you. I found you tutorial, its about the arch module. And I believe that there ar...

The Survey mode cannot be used directly from python scripts, but gathering the same information from any selected Part-based object is easy reproduced with the following script: import FreeCADGui selection = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelectionEx() for obj in selection: for element in obj.SubObjects: ...

It is possible with freecad, yes, but there is no ready tool for it, you'd need to code that yourself. The easiest way might be to write a small macro that goes through all objects and retrieves the needed information. About exporting something for excel, the easiest way in my opinion is to export ...

Hello, Being new to cad I would like to know if there is a possible solution for a problem: I need areas and volume of a 3D-model, say an easy building, that I receave from 2D plans (see the screenshot), output to an excel sheet table. In the excel table the areas should be identificable by names an...
