Feature Request: 3D PDF Exporting to Asymptote format.

[easyw-fc]

I found the problem. When using creaseAngle one must explicitly tell x3dom a list of duplicated points. Obviously it has no function implemented to do this on its own.

May be you could handle crease angle only when exporting directly, giving the result a nicer view, and keep the standard method for the mesh object... what do you think?

I have found a workaround to set crease angle for CAD models and even remove the invalid Normal node for mesh models

I am afraid my English is not good enough for writing on the wiki.

Go for it! It is quite easy for a native speaker to correct some language mistakes you may make as long as the contents is ok. Much better than vice versa, who needs a brilliantly formulated and pleasantly to read page with wrong contents?

Hi, yesterday I created the wiki Exporting meshes to Asymptote code
I have to say that this is my very first wiki I ever made.
So, for sure, it will have many aspects to be fixed.
I'll appreciate any feedback.
Regards.

In the mesh settings for export you can set a custom width and height. Edit > Preferences > Import/Export > Mesh formats. See Asymptote section.

Hi Werner
I'm trying to export a shape to a mesh and then asy output using a python macro.
Here an example code:

Code: Select all

Gui.Selection.addSelection('Unnamed','Box')
Gui.activateWorkbench("MeshWorkbench")
Gui.getDocument('Unnamed').getObject('Box').ShapeColor=(0.61,0.96,0.07)
import MeshPartGui, FreeCADGui
# FreeCADGui.runCommand('MeshPart_Mesher')
import Mesh, Part, PartGui
import MeshPart
__doc__=FreeCAD.getDocument("Unnamed")
__mesh__=__doc__.addObject("Mesh::Feature","Mesh")
__part__=__doc__.getObject("Box")
__shape__=Part.getShape(__part__,"")
__mesh__.Mesh=MeshPart.meshFromShape(Shape=__shape__, LinearDeflection=0.1, AngularDeflection=0.523599, Relative=False,Segments=True)
__mesh__.Label="Cube (Meshed)"
del __doc__, __mesh__, __part__, __shape__

Gui.Selection.addSelection('Unnamed','Mesh')
Gui.runCommand('Mesh_Export',0)

Is there a way to pass to the code the 'Apply face colors to mesh' option, instead of having a grey output result?

Hi Maurice,

Is there a way to pass to the code the 'Apply face colors to mesh' option, instead of having a grey output result?

Currently there is no easy way to do this via Python. In C++ the function highlightSegments() of the mesh view provider is invoked but this is not yet accessible via Python.

Only if your part has a uniform color you can apply it to the mesh:

Code: Select all

__mesh__.ViewObject.ShapeColor = __part__.ViewObject.ShapeColor

git commit e8b5cfced

Extend your script with:

Code: Select all

__part__.ViewObject.DiffuseColor = [(1.,0.,0.), (0.,1.,0.), (0.,0.,1.), (1.,1.,0.), (1.,0.,1.), (0.,1.,1.)]
__mesh__.ViewObject.highlightSegments(__part__.ViewObject.DiffuseColor)

Important is that the number of colors must match with the number of segments.

Fantastic!
