I have been using FreeCAD for at least a year as a CAD software for my phd thesis. It is a nice tool to use, and I hope I'll provide something back to the software at the end of my project.
I want to create a 3D volume from given BSplines. I have an external code that create the points of such BSplines. I aim to create many different geometry just by changing the initial points of my Macro. I would need hundreds of geometry, so thought it was best to use macro only.
I was able to :
Create lists of BSplines
Upgrade such lists into "closed wires"
Make 4 lofts from the closed wires.
Now, I would like to upgrade my 4 lofts into a shell, then into a solid.
I can do it in the GUI by selecting the 4 lofts, and then "click" the Draft.Upgrade icon. I repeat this once to obtain the solid.
However, I don't want to do that on my 100s geometries. I would like to continue the Macro below instead.
I would like to add something like:
shell=[loft1,loft2,loft3,loft4]
shell=Draft.upgrade(shell,delete=True)
solide=Draft.upgrade(shell,delte=True)
But it doesn't work that way. I try with loft1-4.Shape, with and without Part.show(loft1-4), with same results. What bothers me is that I don't really now what the upgrade function needs from the loft to upgrade it, since a loft can be many thing, and the upgrade is applying on many objects.
Is there any more documentation on Draft.upgrade than presented here https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Draft_Upgrade ? Has anyone a recommendation for what I am trying to do? Any help appreciated
