Yes, look into the BIM workbench code, you'll see many .ui files. These are all files created with qtdesigner, you can open them with it

Thanks i'm currently exploring and checking out a few tutorials on this already. Looking good so far.yorik wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 12:02 am Yes, look into the BIM workbench code, you'll see many .ui files. These are all files created with qtdesigner, you can open them with it
Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
wanted to share a new app for inspiration here. I believe it uses qt: https://github.com/Alecaddd/Akira
it's basically a sketch / figma app for linux. borrows from the elementary.io ui
they just launched a few days ago: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/al ... esign-tool
here is an update https://live.kickstarter.com/alessandro ... e-of-akira
really exciting to see this kinda of design emphasis going into linux.

I almost never worked on any UI interface though studying basic python for some time
Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
Me neither, but u know there is always a first for everything and freecad provides such an opportunity. But it mostly comes from the desire to improve something. The more you work on it, the more you know what could be made better. And since i'm python handicapped at the moment, i've choosen to take a closer at the current visual flow. Lot's need to be wrapped up pretty nicely I believe.

Thank you Regis for your commitment.regis wrote:
Let's take a small step forward, maybe you know how to create new panels?
In his video, Ickby uses 2 panels that are not currently in FreeCAD:
- "Task View": This is the "Task" part of the "Combo View", but it does not exist alone.
- "Navigation View": This is a panel containing the different files as tabs.
Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
I can look into it, or have been looking into everything shared on this post.
For now this is the only dialogue box that i've been able create after checking out a few BIM Workbenches examples from Yorik.
Yes i've looked at the video one more time. And looked at the files. I don't see "any" .ui files in this repo so i don't know if this is done in Qt4 which is what i'm currently using at the moment. But sure I wouldn't mind looking into the files to see what I can understand out of it for now.

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
IIRC, we should all be using Qt5 from 0.18 onward.

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
Any link? Qt5 is not in the software manager by defaults\ as qt4. So I tend to be skeptical already when I see you must purchase anything on their website.
