I would like:-
1) To write the blue box to a color .step file
2) Write both parts to a single color .step file.
I have third party color .step files that show as colored when opened using File -> Open in the GUI, but because
Part is monochrome, are monochrome when read in a script using Part.read ( StepPathname ). How can I read
them in as colored?
Thanks.
Code: Select all
import FreeCAD
import Part
from FreeCAD import Vector
import ImportGui
def SetPart ( App, Part, Name, Color ) :
Obj = App.ActiveDocument.addObject ( "Part::Feature", Name )
Obj.Shape = Part
Obj.ViewObject.ShapeColor = Color
return Obj
def Display () :
doc = FreeCAD.newDocument()
BlueBox = Part.makeBox ( 2, 3, 4 )
RedBox = Part.makeBox ( 1, 1.5, 2 )
RedBox.translate ( Vector ( 4, 0, 0 ) )
BlueObj = SetPart ( FreeCAD, BlueBox, "BlueBox", (0.0,0.0,1.0) )
RedObj = SetPart ( FreeCAD, RedBox, "RedBox", (1.0,0.0,0.0) )
BlueObj.Shape.exportStep ( "BlueBox.step" ) # How do I export as a colored step file?
# How do I export both the Blue and Red boxes to the same colored step file?
Gui.activeDocument().activeView().viewIsometric()
