On a side note, can this be used simultaneously in more than one panel? Anyway, thanks for such a great addon!

EDIT:
Got it how I wanted with a few twitches. It automatically gets in Glass mode by adding setMode() after line 176 in GlassGui.py (use setVisibility instead if you want it to show but not in Glass mode).

I got it to work on 2 panels by copy/pasting GlassGui.py and importing the copy in InitGui.py. Had to twitch the positioning so they don't overlap and change the key combinations on the copy. Also changed LeftDockWidgetArea for RightDockWidgetArea at line 146 for personal preference.

There probably is a better way to do this since right now the tree view can be out of view if the window is resized. Sadly, I don´t really know any python to fix this. Attached are my modified files for anyone interested, they go into the Mod/Glass folder.

On a different note, anyone knows how to get rid of the tree in the combo view? or how to permanently move the navigation cube a little to the left?

Solved the positioning issue! I might be better to adapt some numbers to the screen, they're at lines 161 to 166. Attached the fixed copy.

Have you ever tried to use Github ? FreeCAD repository lives on it. So does Glass. It's easier/ 'more convenient' to review code using it.
Check out the FC wiki github page

I just don't think my little twitches justify a pull request or a fork. It's just my taste and I shared in case someone liked it.

Hi @OficineRobotica

I didn't have much free time for Glass module in the past few weeks. Before that i did a bit of research and narrowed the issue down a bit. On KDE, when applying a stylesheet, an issue (black background) emerges. Didn't determine yet if it's a KDE or Qt related issue, or something else is involved, and if a possible workaround exists. Will try to determine that in the following days.

Hi @adrianinsaval

Yes, the change could be made persistent (cross restart) and i did actually implemented a few toggle modes already. But due to not yet resolving KDE issue i didn't have much motivation to push the changes just yet. Will work on that in the following days and in addition i will review your proposals more in depth. Thanks for contributing.

X-post New macro, Vision1, check it out thread. This macro uses a different approach to the FreeCAD viewing experience. May well be a useful methodology for the Glass WB.

I'm having problems setting the things as i want them to with the latest dev appimage. My laptop gave up and it needs to go to be repaired and i had to re set up everything on my tower pc. When I try to activate glass , but with the "tree view" modification it gives me this error

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/flo/.FreeCAD/Mod/Glass/GlassGui.py", line 137, in setMode
    dock.setParent(mdi)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setParent'

Strangely , even the View>Pannels menu is missing the tree view option to be activated.
I remember using the same version on my laptop and the tree view option was present. I'm confused and i might be wrong but pls help. I was so accustomed to that layout that it feels so awkward now with only the combo view

Hi @OficineRobotica

Currently i am investing my free time in addressing some of the remaining oppressing issues with the AppImage. It will take a few more days. After i will take a look.

@triplus

No worries and no rush. I'm aware that this is a really busy time for the devs with the merge and all that it is surrounding it. This is really a minor minor issue.

The thing is that I don't think that it is a glass module problem. It's just that the app image is missing the tree view option in the view>panels menu. I remember this was a issue some time ago and it was reintroduced( I don't remember if it was a regression or if it was eliminated as an option) . Going forward towards assemblies a clear view of the tree view is always welcomed.

Thank you for always being present.
Cheers

I took a quick look and indeed there is no Tree and Property view by default anymore:

https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 13#p331713

If you will read the discussion, there likely still is a way to enable both (using parameter). I didn't test it yet, as best to hear some rationale first, on why they got disabled by default.

Use Parameter editor to create an 'Enable' parameter under User->Preferences->DocWindows->TreeView (PropertyView), and set it the True. Restart FreeCAD. I think it is wmayer disabled it? Not sure though.
