Re: Lithophane Workbench
There are two new small Features available
1. It is possible to select the image in the 3D View like other objects
2. A Progress indicator is shown in the bottom right corner for long running tasks. Currently it is implemented when the image is recalculated or when the "Make Solid" command is called.

Re: Lithophane Workbench

Re: Lithophane Workbench
What do you mean by you dont't have a mesh?
To create a mesh you have to do the following:
1. Click the Import button and select a Image. After the Import is complete, select the imported object in the TreeView
2. Click the "Create Box" Button. This will create the actual mesh from the imported Image
To cut something out you might want to do something like this:
1. Make sure you have OpenSCAD installed (http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html) and configured in FreeCAD
2. Switch to the "Part" workbench and place a Default cube
3. Switch to the "Mesh Design" Workbench, select the Cube in the TreeView and Click on "Meshes > Create shape from mesh"
4. This will give you a mesh representation of your cube
5. Select the Lithophane mesh and the cube mesh and click on "Meshes > Boolean > Difference"
This should give you something like this
Hope this helps.

Re: Lithophane Workbench
Hi, I am new in this forum my name is Manuel and i think this is an amazing addon for FreeCad, good Job.
Now one question: Is Possible to make the lithophane cilindrical ??. I think this is a good thing for make for example one lamp.
Thank you and Good Job

Re: Lithophane Workbench
Good to hear you like it
It is not possible to create cylindrical lithophanes right now. But this is one of the next things I want to work on. Maybe in a month or two this will be possible

Re: Lithophane Workbench
The next Version will have the feature to create Lithophanes in the shape of a tube (hollow inside son one can easily place a light source inside). The version will be available in the next few days.
This image Will look like this Maybe not the best Image for a tube. But it looks kinda cool I think
Did not make an actual test print Right now. So use with caution. Maybe you should start with something small first
Re: Lithophane Workbench
Now the new Version with the Tube Feature is available. So update the workbench and you should be able to create a tube

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.
My macros on Gist.github here complete macros Wiki and forum.

Re: Lithophane Workbench
Released a new version that contains a performance optionization for bigger images (1000 x 1500 Pixels and above). The Texture creation for the 3D view hangs for a Pretty Long time with the old version for large Images. So update to the new version to parse larger Images
