Dev logs of Rebar Addon for FreeCAD - GSoC project

[triplus]

Haven't checked this thread for a while. I see things are progressing really nicely!

[amrit3701]

This Beam is waiting for new properties of straight and L rebar.

I have done all the things as you said. I have separated side cover of L-Shape into left and right side cover and also introduced many new properties in straight rebar. The fields present in the straight rebar dialog box is changing according to orientation and cover along property. Only icons of straight rebar are left which are changing according to the orientation property. Now, it's your turn to test it. Tell me if any changes will require.

i'm also falling in love, I'm looking into what it takes to learn python coding. I wished someone showed me how to write code for freecad like Amrit does. @Amrit, what does it take to learn python coding? how long before I can create freecad enhancements? would you mind sharing your experience?

Hi @regis,

I think FreeCAD core developer gives a better answer that how you can contribute to FreeCAD. Before GSoC, I had never written code with so much interest but by getting good reviews from you and FreeCAD users, it has urged me to give more than my best. Also, my mentors have changed my approach when I get stuck at some points, he introduces me to a new approach which will give fruitful results. Understanding a workflow of Arch workbench is also guide me to produce a good quality of code. I, thanks to FreeCAD and GSoC for giving me this opportunity. I will also share my experience more through a blog post.

Regards

I am falling in love with this thread, Amritpal. Although I do not see myself using this feature I am truly amazed by the rate of update and the features you produce.

Thanks and keep up the fantastic work

Thanks to you.

Test create rebar in a continuous beam.
Rebar No.2 and 4 and the right side can not be bent for lapping, may use custom rebar create DWire from a macro.

The Rebar addon is becoming the feature of the year!

I agree with you. The Rebar Addon can be used for all shapes of rebar. In future, If we already have all basic shape of rebar, it will be easy to used for non-programmer. The base wire can be used for export IFC file too.

Can you share the .fcstd file too?
