Cool. BTW. you've done a great work! Thanks. Can not wait it will appear in official branch

Well, a whole car is obviously a far stretch, but a lot of efforts has been spent on making assembly scalable. The pending new release will introduce a new feature called partial loading. You can now freeze an assembly in some external file. Any parts or sub-assembly referenced by the frozen assembly do not need to be loaded. You can of course reload the file and unfreeze the assembly for modification.
That requires a DOF animator, which I will be working on after the next release. More advanced animation may require some kind of simulator to generate expressions linking various free parameters.2) do something like a fully functional elevator shaft. Details like a spooled cable reel and cable (cable could be tough), spring operated assemblies that apply pressure like a shock absorber, spring latches that move when they can, trip switches.
Now this starts to sound like what i want to do.realthunder wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 10:58 amThat requires a DOF animator, which I will be working on after the next release. More advanced animation may require some kind of simulator to generate expressions linking various free parameters.

I'm not a fan of fancy mates.
My experiance is that the software becomes less stable
I'd prefer a little more work than crashes
Don't know yet. The management hasn't responsed to my request of merging yet.dcapeletti wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 11:27 amAssembly 3 will be available for version 0.18 of freecad?
By the end of this year it looks like version 0.18 will be ready.
if i remeber right, you licenced assembly3 GPL3. On sevaral other things (opencamlib as example) GPL3 license was the reason why they are not could be merged.realthunder wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 11:44 amDon't know yet.

Assembly3 is licensed GPL because its only usable solver, SolveSpace, is GPL. However, I am requesting merging of my fork of FreeCAD. If it goes in, then Assembly3 can be made available in the Add-on manager.
and the @realthunder fork has many improvements, not only but also related to STEP importing/exporting, that can be merged without any License issue.realthunder wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 12:36 pmAssembly3 is licensed GPL because its only usable solver, SolveSpace, is GPL.
