Re: GSOC 2020 (Voice your opinion and ideas about what to propose for the next gsoc)
develop the node library for freecad pyflow to get a toolset with the power of the grashopper gui.
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=36299
https://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/tutorials-1
writing the nodes is not to complicated but there is a lot of functionality which can be wrapped by graphical nodes.
it's a time consuming job, so some help is welcome.

If you make up a detailed proposal for this, I bet it would attract students. If you need help with that, let me know.microelly2 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 10:17 am develop the node library for freecad pyflow to get a toolset with the power of the grashopper gui.

Re: GSOC 2020 (Voice your opinion and ideas about what to propose for the next gsoc)
I would like to see the following facility added to FreeCAD
Mesh and Polyhedron to Surface
There seems to be software to do this but so far have not found any open source offerings.
Commercial programs that seem to have this function
Rhino ( Mesh2Surface plugin )
Grasshopper https://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/top ... to-surface
TrueGrid http://www.truegrid.com/geometry.html

Re: GSOC 2020 (Voice your opinion and ideas about what to propose for the next gsoc)
I would like to see a Nurbs importer for FreeCAD i.e. making use of OpenNurbs https://www.rhino3d.com/opennurbs
I made a start a long time ago, like 3 years ago see https://github.com/KeithSloan/FreeCAD_ImportNurbs
but it was only a start and as Yorik did CADexchanger, https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=22227 I stopped.
But as CADexchanger uses a comercial product it would be good to have an open source solution.
I would be happy to mentor but not in 2020 as I am fully commited on a MSc until Oct 2020. Maybe 2021?

Make a prestudie on how to make a new light weight file format for the upcoming assembly situation.
I've already put forward an unexplored way: the file header can hold quite some information.
This is really pressing: the computer that can open up a big assembly, without lightweight file format, isn't invented yet. This must be started a.s.a.p. but it is a BIG undertaking, so a proper prestudie must be done. But isn't that what students are for?

Re: GSOC 2020 (Voice your opinion and ideas about what to propose for the next gsoc)
hello,
not aware what can be done in this GSOC, but I am still waiting for faster BIM imports in Arch-WB.
May have to do with ifcopenshell or with parallisation. No clue..
Another idea is to bring up this open-modelica and node-editor (pyflow) together to have some MEP stuff.
Like Water calculations or Electrical calculations for buildings in the background of modeling some architecture.
But this should not go parallely to what Blender is doing..no need to have this twice,since Blender is importing/exporting BIM too.
Anyway FreeCAD has to mark/define its position between Blender, Salome, Elmer and co.

Re: GSOC 2020 (Voice your opinion and ideas about what to propose for the next gsoc)
For GSOC 2020. Please have a look how great the Ironcad triball tool is:
Please upgrade / expand the Freecad transform-tool, that it can be possible to move and rotate Body's, Pocket, Pad's, imported part's, primitives and other stuff. Please in combination with draft snap, draft-clone, draft array and placement. Please make the tool usable for single parts, features as well as for assembly's.
After - no other tool is needed.
Blender has a similar tool, called manipulator.

Good idea to combine Transform and Placement.
