Re: Dev logs of Rebar Addon for FreeCAD - GSoC project
I have introduced new property in the Rebar object i.e. Custom Spacing. Here is the PR: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/862
With above PR, Rebar object has the ability to create non-uniform spacing between rebars.
For eg. Suppose we have a column having height 1000 mm and values of offset start and offset end of rebar object is equal to 25 mm. If we given custom spacing 6@50+4@100+6@50 it will create 50 mm spacing between 6 rebars at the start portion, 100 mm spacing between 4 rebars in the middle portion and 50 mm spacing between 6 rebars in the last portion.
Limitation of current custom spacing property:
For getting the correct result, first user needs to calculate spacing manually and then give that values to custom spacing property of rebar object otherwise it will get a strange result.
Solution to overcome above limitation:
I will create UI for rebar distribution to automate rebar distribution system. I will take reference of Tekla Structures (https://teklastructures.support.tekla.c ... spacing_90) for creating UI of rebar distribution.

Yes, I have tested your code and also changed my getParametersOfFace() function which depends on Armature property of structure. Now I didn't get any circular dependencies error while changing sketch support. Everything works fine.
Now you can test "Pick Face Selected" button.

I have added a stirrup icon in the drop-down list.

first of all great work amrit, yorik and bernd.
I have been following this post with great attention and today i've decided to give it much justice it deserves.
here is the video link to a natural investigation of the current rebar. Except I didn't install anything and i've noticed that your Icons are different so I don't know if we are talking about the same rebar tool.
but in anycase here is it.

Latest video : didn't think it worth while yet,
Terrible quality but good info if it helps any one.

amazing process, excellent simplicity
except the stirrup icon isn't showing

Hi Regis,
Thanks for so much deep investigation on rebar addon. I saw in the second video you have unable to use rebar addon properly because installation steps at Github repo(https://github.com/amrit3701/FreeCAD-Reinforcement) were not so good. Now, I have updated all installation steps and also added Stirrup Rebar icon.
Regards,
Re: Dev logs of Rebar Addon for FreeCAD - GSoC project
Beautiful, thank you so much, and thank you aswell for improving the rebar tool. you have no idea how significant this is. May I ask, what is your roadmap for this project?amrit3701 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 6:01 amHi Regis,

and also please give me a list of susceptible proffessionals that may use this tool, for example, right now I can only think of Architect, Structural and Civil Engineers, but there could me more I don't know about, any ideas? even if they are in the most unconventional use such as Artists.

Hello Regis,
thanks for the video, very interesting. And thanks to amrit3701 for his amazing work on rebar.
Keep up the spirit!
Below you see an antenne structure we are actually planning. I used FC17 to help my colleages
for "visualizing" the foundation (most of them are electronics-guys, not builders). The red block
is an additional concrete-inlay without rebars due to poor ground-situation. The geotechnicians
wanted it. In 3d its easy to check the position of the bars to be sure that there are no collisions.
And its a good opportunity to learn FC17...I have a dream: my colleages uses FC instead of Autocad
Question: is there a pssibility to use the geodata-wb to put the structure into the "landscape".
Greetings Thomas

I forgot:
See autocad-drawing, the man standing beneath the mast.
Where can I find a model of a man for loading in FC?
