Re: BIM/Arch development news articles from Yorik's blog

yorik seeing that you mention Revit, do you have any plans to create a system akin to Revit's families, where you can model doors, windows, furniture or things like sweeps (based off profile families)? Revit's constraint system really falls short in that you can only really dimension and align sket...

Re: A new take on the UI. FreeCAD Nut.

FreeCAD Nut thanks for the detailed response. I'm not saying working with the design team means you have to redistribute the work. Instead, what I hope is that by participating in the design discussion with the design group, that your work can also be leveraged for FreeCAD master as well (when idea...

Re: [AddOn] Shortcuts makeover

Just some thoughts on the subject. A visual representation of the keyboard is an interesting approach, though I do hope that the current editor will remain available (I know you are only working on an addon so that point is moot right now). I can imagine that you add a visual representation, where y...

Re: A new take on the UI. FreeCAD Nut.

The icons look really nice! I wonder how well they align with the pixel grid for 24, 36 and 48 px. Could you show some examples FreeCAD Nut ? I hope you want to reconsider joining the design group rather than work on a stand-alone version of FreeCAD. While the pool of developers has grown in recent ...

Re: [User input] Sketcher - ToolWidget

From the UX point of view consistency is one of the most important things to care about because user actions should have results that user expect done in a way that user expects. Consistency and use of common (well established in other software) patterns really helps with that. While I don't think ...

Re: Naming and function of new buttons in Start workbench

My vote would go to: Part Design = Sketch based model Part = Boolean based model "Model" could also be part or even component. The tooltip would state that: Sketch based models are usually built from sketches. Boolean based models usually rely on boolean operations. The "usually"...

Re: UI/UX Color Palette Analysis - A continuing research project

I did a test to see what this palette allows in terms of individually distinguishable colours for the sketcher. Looking at Obelisk's sketcher colours, there are currently 18 colours. It is possible for me to get up to 17 visually distinguishable colours of which I think it is possible to tell the co...

Polyline tool modal customisation gone in FreeCAD 0.21?

Are the modal customisations for the polyline tool in the Draft workbench removed? Previously, in 0.20 and 0.21 development versions, there was a tab in the Draft workbench preferences to assign different shortcuts for Wipe, Close, Continue, etc. This no longer appears in the 0.21 release version: h...
