Roof trusses

Postby johnwang » Sat Mar 02, 2019 4:46 am

Hi,

I wrote a python script to draw this. Just extrude from polygon. Total 1290 objects.

Is there someone else work in this area? Like to chat.

Regards,

John

wow, impressive! How much time of computation for such kind of model? How about RAM consumption?

Excellent! That could be useful to many people and easily become a full-fledged freecad tool... That hardest part you apparently have done already :)
Mind to share the script?

I'm also very interested in this work, and seeing your source code. This looks fantastic. I've been working on a timber framing workbench here. It's absolutely not ready to be called version 1.0 yet, but it's getting there.

@jonwang: what do you do with the model? or what is the model for?

what does it mean? Do you do drawings out of your modell or do you export to another format or what else. Means how do you get from the FreeCAD modell to production?
