Potential Feature Requests for 0.15 Release
Some potential feature requests for 0.15 Release
1. Extended BOP checks = TRUE by default
2. FREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_PIVY checked by default in Cmake
3. FREECAD_USE_FREETYPE checked by default in Cmake
Opinions?

Re: Potential Feature Requests for 0.15 Release
+1 for all (if I get a vote )
Re: Potential Feature Requests for 0.15 Release
Definitely +1 from me. I was actually going to submit a patch for this, but I never got around to it.
(Edit: for the cmake options)

Please see this question of mine and ickby's and tanderson69's replies.sgrogan wrote:1. Extended BOP checks = TRUE by default

I don't think the devs will agree to make it true by default.tanderson69 wrote:As ickby points out, the bopargcheck can be painfully slow. And after using it for a while, I think it mainly exposes the problems with the boolean algorithms and not with the topology itself. This lead me to think that it is best left off by default.

Maybe we should make the property available from the GUI instead.normandc wrote:I don't think the devs will agree to make it true by default.

Technically, the Parameter editor is a GUI...shoogen wrote:Maybe we should make the property available from the GUI instead.normandc wrote:I don't think the devs will agree to make it true by default.
But making the property available in the preferences would make it easier to set.
Re: Potential Feature Requests for 0.15 Release
OK
I haven't experienced painfully slow, but this is why I asked. Thanks for the feed back.
How about a wiki page for activating BOP checks, I know the help on FreeCAD helpers need to explain this a lot. Basically what Jim says here:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7878#p64422
For 2 and 3 should I do a formal ticket

Re: Potential Feature Requests for 0.15 Release
It would be logical to put it directly in the Part CheckGeometry command page, since AFAIK it's the only GUI command that uses it.sgrogan wrote:How about a wiki page for activating BOP checks, I know the help on FreeCAD helpers need to explain this a lot.
For now the page is empty.
I was also thinking of a more general page, something like "Troubleshooting", that would explain the different things that can be done to figure out a problem with FreeCAD or with a model, or link to other pages that do. There are many things that we have to repeat over and over.
One of them is to check both "Run internal python messages..." and "Run internal python errors in the report view".

Re: Potential Feature Requests for 0.15 Release
Basing on how often we have to ask newbs to enable the BOP check (quite often), and on how often it takes impossibly long (I haven't heard of any cases), I still vote for BOPcheck to default to true (but a clear option in the GUI is needed too IMO).
Re: Potential Feature Requests for 0.15 Release
This is a great idea. It doesn't even have to be linkable by the user. I'm thinking of a page of links.normandc wrote:I was also thinking of a more general page, something like "Troubleshooting"
"IMPORTANT: Please read first before asking for help" would be the first, but all in one place.
I have a document on my desktop that are just links to my common FreeCAD issues. Something like this on the wiki to save searching common topics? This would be similar to how bejant taught me to post icons.
