Hi all,
I am working on some components that are situated in a torus, described by 3 coordinates (R,phi,Z) where R is the sqrt(x*x + y*y), phi is the arctan(x/y) and Z is still Z.
Is there any functionality in FreeCAD to have a toroidal coordinate system? Things like being able to see contours of particular R and phi would be useful for my design work. There may be some botched work around wherein I just keep making cylinders to represent coordinates of constant R, however, I'd like to avoid having to do that if possible.
Any guidance is appreciated
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Curved/toroidal coordinates
You can of course use Expressions, but the input is a bit clumsy.
