Hi,

I am now busy with the Basic Design sub module. The Project Setup/Concept and Detail Design sub module are already made and has to be tested in 1 real simple section.

Hi John,

Yes, the sheets should be divided where it connects with other sheets. Any other points to consider so I can put into my features?

Jos, looks already great!

There might be also some potential to produce shell elements for roofs and similar.

So keep up with work on this nice workbench!

This looks very cool!
I would love to create structures of a Machine Room block and tryout to combine it with the "Dodo" Piping workbench to fill it with life.


Please continue with this promissing Workbench!

Best Regard

Hi weebee13,
It is amassing your task. Hope soon will be a FreeCad Work-Bench.
I hope too you can solve the Ship Workbench problem, which is very, very slow on a normal computer.
Thanks a lot and keep going in your project!

@All: thanks

Another feature was created during my test. I came across during creating and reviewing the workflow that it would be handy if I can create a transverse frame including the holes plus extra attribute then copy paste it through the frames of interest. By doing so, I can save some feature operations also time. New copies can be handled individually. Change the hole distance or amount or the type of that hole. This happens often with me during testing when I arise the questions, could it be better and easier for me. Then I think about it and make the solution. Very addicting!
For details of this feature please see the video on youtube.

Btw, I am not the creator of the Ship WB. Please contact Jose or help him to improve his WB.
