Test Coin3d demos from the book The Inventor Mentor in a workbench

Post by ceanwu »

Hi,

I modified Mariwan Jalal's FreeCAD macros to be commands in a workbench.
Just download from https://github.com/ceanwu/hfcInventorMentorA as an zip file and unzip under your FreeCAD's mod folder.
Start FreeCAD, then switch to hfcInventorMentorA workbench.

Enjoy.

01.1.Windmill.iv is an iv file. You could open it directly with FreeCAD, and the wheel is rotating. No code is needed.

Thanks. I'm always learning new things with FreeCAD.

Under the iv folder of my workbench, there are a few iv files. There are Coin3D's model files. Just like FreeCAD's FCStd file.
