I'm not 100% sure I follow you but just to jump in here, I think you might be wanting sudo apt install qt5-default.

Okay I think i installed it already from software manager, Anything else I might need from here? qt4 looks more complete and fairly straight forward. What is the file extension of qt5 in the folders? Generally when something installs well, you get to see it here the in start menu, but qt5 is no where to befound.
Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
I did use qt's qml language to build the UI, you can find everything here:
https://github.com/ickby/FreeCAD_sf_mas ... rc/Gui/Qml
Some stuff is done on the c++ side, like splitting property dialog from the combo view or exposing all freecad panels to qml.

In this thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6676 you talked about poor performance of this interface if scene gets big.ickby wrote:
Did this change with Qt 5?
Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
Oh boy, the rabbit hole is getting deeper. I'm already completely lost. I've cloned you repo but nothing makes sense as of yet with all these qt5 attempts to install. For now I'll keep things simple with what works on my end. I'll just focus on qt4 and gradually learn it. I don't know what and how to use qml and now I hear c++ is in the air aswell. I think I'll stick with qt4 and python that I currently don't know. Tooo many tangents already to keep track off.ickby wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 5:41 am I did use qt's qml language to build the UI, you can find everything here:

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
based on some of the youtube interface design it seems like the qt4 designer that i have will work?

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
hey if you can show how to get started, I don't mind. I have no attachment at this point as i've barely started using qt4. But if you can show me how to get qt5 running until I can open @ickby's files with and reverse engineer what he's been doing, i don't mind. that's all i'm asking.
Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)
ok i found this link and installer
And also this one
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux.html
Hehe fellows I think we are in buisness
The about me says that it's qt5 this time, but the interface seems to be the same as qt4
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev
Code: Select all
sudo apt install qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools qttools5-dev
