Yorik, I'm not sure if the add-on manager would install all the needed components for this workbench.

It only needs EZDXF package.

So we're going to need to tell folks to install it somehow. Or we do something else like install it via FreeCAD-pip ?

Okay I added SteelColumn to the addons! Welcome on board :)
About the EZDXF dependency: you can add a metadata.txt file in your repo's root dir, and inside:

Code: Select all

[dependencies]
pylibs=ezdxf
(Check for example https://github.com/jmplonka/InventorLoa ... tadata.txt )

Hello,
I have a very general question. Iam trying to assemble a bridge structure using std building elements such as beam, joint, rod. Also Iam in a need to show type indications suck as reactions on eccentricities and set of symbols for that.

I know there are workbenches such as BIM and dodo. Currently I am not sure if these covers my needs or if there are additional libraries fot this to add

Do you know if there are additions specifically for these type of drawings ?

Regards
Mikael

Hello @MikaelT . If I understand you correctly, you can use TechDraw WB for this.
