Re: unwrapping mesh

Re: unwrapping mesh
I guess the wanted result are two concentric circles. The algorithm doesn't work good for such problems. There is the risk that triangles are overlapping and this makes the output of the relaxing step nonsense... There are alternative approaches which allow to unwrap also these kind of problems. The implemented approach is more suited for problems where not too much length differences between shape and unwrapped face occure.
So to get a better result a seam has to be added. For meshes a seam is simple a not connected mesh (Points on the seam occure twice in the vertices array) currently there is not a easy way to create seams for meshes in FreeCAD. So adding a little gap is the simpler way.
this indicates that your library (most-likely) is not build with pybind11 (conda-based builds are all using python3). So the unwrap tools are not available for this version.
But I guess you already found a solution
Re: unwrapping mesh
Hello,
the unwrap feature in very useful. I downloead the last version of freecad from GIT, but I dont't see the command "Unwrap mesh" in the mesh workbench. I don't know if there is a procedure to activate the utility.
...@looo; @manchild can you help me?....
I need the feature to unwrap the surface of steel/aluminum plates for laser cutting....
Thanks,
Marco

Re: unwrapping mesh
I am not sure why it is not included. All packages I create have it enabled. So maybe @sgrogan doesn't build with pybind11...DDM wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 8:51 am OS: Windows 10

Re: unwrapping mesh
Hi Looo,
thanks for your reply.
So did you build your version with pybind11?
I am not expert.... ...The unwrap is too important...
Should I create a post in "open discussion"? What do you think?
Thanks, Marco
