Smartened it up a bit with a few fillets and used a sub-shapebinder to bool the logo to the screw.

Re: Call for Participation: Modeling Challenge
That's looking really good. I love it. Visually it's perfect unless we want to throw some FreeCAD-red in there for style points.
I would still like to have the entire vise/vice appear in the tree as a single Part with the base, jaw, and screw nested underneath. That way the visibility of the whole thing could be controlled with one space-bar click and the whole assembly could be added to a document with one link.

PropertyBag !!!!?!?!?sliptonic wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 8:49 pm I changed it by moving the parameters to a propertybag instead of the spreadsheet. I like the propertybags because the user can adjust the values in the task panel instead of needing to open/switch to the spreadsheet. It makes the object feel more like a parametric 'thing'.
What an unsexy name. Why not call it ... dunno ... Variables ? And store their your .... variables ?
Re: Call for Participation: Modeling Challenge
Okey dokey, I found a couple of errors which I've fixed. I need to figure out the logo, looks like it's a part fusion of two bodies, I need to scale it to fit the screw. I'll spend some time over the W/E. Going to the pub now
I agree with Zolko about the name sounds like it keeps unmentionables

Re: Call for Participation: Modeling Challenge
How about calling it a sporran?

Re: Call for Participation: Modeling Challenge
Nobody ever said we were good at naming things.
It was written as a Path specific thing to facilitate the parametric toolbits. It's more than just a list of variables. It's a pythonfeature object with some other tricks up its sleeves. Unlike spreadsheets, It can support enums and propertygroups.
Weird name, cool feature.
I like sporran! That's great.
