Procedural Pavilion in FreeCAD ?

[paullee]

Impressive. Also would like to see a tutorial or walkthrough of this. I downloaded the file but no idea on how the finals are generated.

Besides BIM basics like easy walls, doors, and windows, this is the topic that interests me the most (if you can't tell by the youtube videos ! However, in freecad, it is currently not easily achieved as no one has created tools to do UV subdivision and panelise. The good news is the under the hood, everything is in place, and it can be achieved with some python knowledge (albeit more than my familiarity), as shown here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=39218 (took a while to find!) and of what @GlouGlou is posting.

Yes a tutorial would be terrific

In the meantime, you can check the model to find

1. There is a Slice amongst the Gordon surface and the Extrude.
2. Then each of the resultant sliced surface are filtered by a Compound Filter.
3. The collective sliced surface of the above is then extruded.

Though not sure why it needs Slice, then Compound Filter...

Seems a Boolean Common should do ?

Then Extrude ?.... now my FreeCAD on i3 core is just not responding....

I see, so it's intersections, not UVs.

It's 15 min still nothing after clicking the Extrude button I have killed FC.

Another attempt, seems FC similarly still 'thinking'....

Is it my i3 too slow or the resultant Boolean Common not good (used Check Geometry, nothing wrong) for Extrude ?

ok, tomorrow is Saturday, I will make video. (or Sunday )

Terrific to have a tutorial to walk through how to do it

Some observations up to 8:00 -

1. You may want to enable comments in youtube video, so comments can be posted there?
2. Can have a higher resolution video so the menu / model tree characters are legible?
3. Can't read what WB and objects (Plane and Axis?) are added in 2:05-4:05

EDIT
Up to 10:00 -

1. Is it Curve WB?
2. Can't read what curve objects are added

Thanks
