No unwrap mesh Using Ubuntu 20 and freeCAD 0.19 snap

Post by jcoppola »

There is no unwrap mesh feature on freecad from ubuntu stable snap store. I've added repository universe but this did not help. I am developing my own unwrap functionality without the need for meshes. However i would like to compare results with mesh unwrap.

You can compile FC with following cmake arguments :

Code: Select all

-DBUILD_QT5=ON -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 -DBUILD_FLAT_MESH=ON 
Have a look for this thread (or other topics as well):

Hope it helps

Thanks for the tip. Why is it a separate feature if I already have most of Mesh Design functionality working? Why isn't the ubuntu snap build already using this build option?

What is the FreeCAD release you have? 0.19? Please give your FC info.
As an alternative you could download the weekly appimage rather using snap package which is maybe outdated on this point. I'm not an expert though.

AppImage doesn"t run properly either the last one i tried. Can't install plugins or workbench addons as they are called here.

Which snap did you use? freecad or freecad-ppd? I've enabled -DBUILD_FLAT_MESH=ON for the latter, and it's currently building. It should appear very soon in the edge channel (= daily build from FreeCAD master) and the stable channel (= 0.19.2 release).
Try FreeCAD from the Snap Store: Stable releases (in latest/stable) & daily builds (in latest/edge). Supports installing additional python packages via pip!
