eventually, what "things" will an Assembly contain?

Post by jmaustpc »

Hi Juergen
ultimately is the idea that an Assembly item could in theory contain any FreeCAD item as an object in the Assembly?

Specifically do intend that one day an assembly will be able to contain a
1)a mesh? STL?
2)Python Feature object
3)OpenSCAD items

4) I think you have said in the past when in multi document mode you could add another FreeCAD document within an assembly.

In the end, all of them.

The Assembly should be able to group and order all geometrical objects in FreeCAD. This includes all you have listed and some more. At the start the most important for sure is the Body of PartDesign, but meshes are also important. The rest comes with time...
