Can you post the code on the wiki like this: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Macro_FCWire_To_Volume
Then the Addon manager can use it. Great tool!

I tested the Macro with the 'Main Part' of my previous 'Body-in-Part-failing.FCStd' file and still the macro fails

Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of Copy_of_MainPart.

Here my FC details

OS: Windows 10
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.13387 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: c5f4079252b11e3c54cd603be7d3697fa9f9d922
Python version: 2.7.14
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0
Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)

Thx

hi
no problem with the macro

OS: Windows 10
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.13387 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: c5f4079252b11e3c54cd603be7d3697fa9f9d922
Python version: 2.7.14
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0

but the 0.17 version create big problem with the macro working with the Placement justly cause if Part placement is not 0

Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of Copy_of_MainPart.

This is highly probably due to the fact that Copy_of_MainPart doesn't have any shape (it may have the Shape attribute in Python but Shape.isNull() will return None). Did you check whether the tip of the body is set?

Feel free to paste it there. I prefer to have a version control system. Do you know if there is the possibility to include a file in the wiki given its URL (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeC ... py.FCMacro)?

Mario, can you please send me the file that doesn't work. Thanks!

Hi

your macro work well

but the idea create one closed world in object Part is not good idea (see my animation)

tree object Part placement different and box in coordinate 0,0,0
the placement read of the tree box are same !!

how read the real placement on the global coordinate 0,0,0 : Box + Part ? which is the real position of box in the 3D view

for my this is bug

Hi mario,
Part is acting as the Compound container

Not yet, I think there is a feature for Addons-manager to handle this case.

@Gael,
here is a case in which the deepcopy macro is adding extra objects

The case is when there are more levels in Part structure

hi easyw-fc

Part is acting as the Compound container

ok but more easy 0,0,0 base for all instead ..
