Nice! how did you generate the pdf ? is there an original document you used that could be updated in the future to update the PDF ? It was purely generated from doxygen ?

Hi @Kunda1

Yes, it was purely generated from Doxygen. Here is my Doxyfile which produces documentation in both formats (Web and LaTeX): https://github.com/amrit3701/FreeCAD-Re ... file#L1599

It seems there are certain issues with the rebar module, or I am missing something. Cover taken in this makes working difficult, as we need to specify nominal cover which mean clear cover, so one would like to enter this cover as input, but this module expect effective cover, so either you will get different model or you need to do some calculations to convert cover to effective cover. To solve this issue (till such changes does not incorporated in module), Here are two files, change data in footingConf.py file and execute footing.py to get a pad type footing with reinforcement in both direction.

Screenshot of generated footing is also attached:

I am thankful to Amrit for his tutorial at https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Arch_Re ... #Scripting

However I faced following thing. The changes done in footingConf.py does not become effective, till I close the FreeCAD and then restart it again. If I don't do so, on executing footing.py, on a new file, it still produce the results with old data.

Does this behaviour normal?

Please help me to avoid restart of FreeCAD again and again.

It's a normal behaviour. You need to reload modules.

Code: Select all

# Importing modules
import footingConf
import footing 

# Changes done in footingCong.py
# Reload modules
reload(footingConf)
reload(footing)

Hi, I used your Rebar Addon to create multiple rebars and stirrups in one step, I made some modifications to the code and now it takes to consideration the rebar length, overlaps and type of stirrup. But I'm having problems when structure have angle, the "Map a sketch to a face" doesn't work like I wanted The addon have the same problem, I don't know if I missing something or what could I do to create the rebar and stirrups despite the angle of the structure.

Great job with this addon!! I hope I can help with something

PS. I still don't know how to attach images properly, Sorry

Thank you amrit for your great work. I am very interesting to it. is there any effort to port reinforcement to python3 and pyqt5?
very thanks.
