FreeCAD Trails Workbench (Transportation and Geomatics)

good looking stuffs indeed.
I was wondering, can the surfaces be made to appear smoother? like nurbs?

For now its enough for me maybe I can add swep edges future but if you want surface smooting, I dont have any plan for it.

look here:

That's some gorgeous-looking code. I hope you keep working on that workbench. I've been thinking for a while that we really need a surveying-focused workbench, which is a bit out of my domain. I could probably figure it out, but I'd much rather let an expert do it.

Good work!

Thanks

there are some ways we can continue
I started with alpha shapes here https://youtu.be/vpAKOTqrbPI
and some experiments on approximation

I'm fallowing your works but I don't interest with surface smooting. I want to give ability of earthworks volume calculation to freecad.

Volumetric calculations are supported, but you need solid shapes to do it. Essentially, it's a call to a solid's Shape.Volume attribute.

No problem, someday someone will have time to implement the smoothing.

I'm talking about sample lines, surfaces sections, section views and calculation between two or more surfaces. İs it support that or something like this? İf it can, that's help me a lot

Of course İf someone want to do something, I want to see it.

Not that I'm aware of. Volumetric calculations are pretty much limited to solid shapes, I think. It's not something I've had time to explore - was waiting until I got more into building the 3D models...

Do you have a good example of techniques that are commonly used? Something that illustrates the process step-by-step? I only ask because it's a good idea to document the problem and what the solution should look like before trying to sort it out in FreeCAD.
