Arch Axis tool on a new document

Post by bitacovir »

Hi. Just I notice when I run FreeCAD and after you open Arch workbench and creating a first empty document, then I click on Arch Axis tool (as first action), the axis is not visible and it has not either axes or values. Only after you draw something in the document you can create an arch axis that is visible. This only happens if you open Arch Workbench previous to create a document:

- open FreeCAD
- open Arch workbench
- create a empty document
- click on Arch axis tool --> the axes element is not visible on the canvas and has not values.

Another thing is some axis values (Angles -Distances) are not editable in the Data Tag of Property window (bottom [...] ). Only if you make double click -> Tasks tag, you can make editions. I think it is a bit confusing.

I cannot reproduce the problem... Are you sure the axes are not there, simply out of your current view? (Try zoomig out a bit, or right-click -> fit selection). Maybe what we need is better default settings..

About editing the values in the data tab, indeed. I hadn't even noticed that float lists were editable now :) It works if you take care of using only float values there (1000.0 instead of 1000). The PropertyFloatList editor must probably be fixed/extended so it accepts integer values too -> issue #2444

Hi Yorik. I am sure it is not a problem of zoom. I did "ViewFit" but the element remains hidden. If I follow this steps:
- open FreeCAD
- open Arch workbench
- create a empty document
- click on Arch axis tool
The axis element is created hided and it is not visible. I take some screenshots:

Here I included some values to the axis element but it remains hidden.

Hi !
Strange, I can't reproduce either on:

Coin version: 4.0.0a

bitacovir : on the first screenshot we can see the recompute arrows are available, if you recompute after create an Arch system, does it do anything ?

for me there is nothing there only because of zoom....if I click on zoom fit all and the Arch Axis appear.

As shown by bitavovir's screenshot, the problem is Axis object are hidden (grey in tree view) and that should not happen.

@bitacovir : can you copy/paste the return of Report View and Python console when you perform the operations you describe.
Don't forget to manually recompute if you can.

Same here on a windows machine:

- open Arch workbench
- create a empty document
- click on Arch axis tool
- click on recompute
- right click view fit

The axis object is grey like bitacovir described.

It must be some how a Windows issue, although its hard to see how, because I tried exactly as you two say above and I get no problems, I just pulled master and tried again, I still get no problems.

I have "Start WB" as my default workbench, in case that makes any difference.
