Hi,
this is my very fist FreeCAD model. Took whole one day ...

this is my very first FreeCAD model. Took whole one day ...

Great try for a 1st model.
(1/2 an hour. )

Hi,
I think you guys have taken some shortcuts ...
I have refined my model and it is in theory OK - but doesn't update as it should... not sure if it my fault or FreeCAD's...
The parameters are TableHeight, BlattDiameter, BlattThickness, LegThickness, TableSupport. Changing of those doesn't work as expected even though, as far as my geometry goes, it should .

Hi,
Just to close this screenshot series: three parameters variations of the table model.
Apparently one have to be careful when garbing references in sketcher - but doing CAD is all about being careful
There is no wood or glass in standard materials , hope will be not long in coming

I just finished my first part in Free CAD. It is the base for a tool carousel. The center, threaded hole is for a vertical stud that holds the tiers together and the outer groove is for ball bearing balls.

Here's a sneak peak at my (pre-alpha) FreeCAD <-> Inkscape integration.

So amazing! Would you mind atarting up a new thread to keep us updated on your progress?

Very delayed reply, I haven't been active for a while, my current interests/hobbies seem to be gravitating back towards programming. It's in a very alpha state but if you're lucky, it'll integrate Inkscape or The Gimp into the FreeCAD main window, on Linux.

https://github.com/SuzanneSoy/XternalApps.git

It's made to be very generic, so adding support for a new application is usually just ~2h of debugging to find the exact filters to spot the window when it appears, and <10 lines of code. Here are the demo ones included, yes it's that short, 3 apps in 20 lines of code to embed their windows inside FreeCAD:

Code: Select all

# app-specific infos:
apps = Apps(
    App('Mousepad',
        start_command_and_args = ['mousepad', '--disable-server'],
        xwininfo_filter_re = r'mousepad',
        extra_xprop_filter = lambda processId, windowId, i: True,
        tools = []),
    App('Inkscape',
        start_command_and_args = ['inkscape'],
        xwininfo_filter_re = r'inkscape',
        extra_xprop_filter = lambda processId, windowId, i: x11prop(windowId, 'WM_STATE',  'WM_STATE') is not None,
        tools = [
            "myTool.xforms"
            # TODO: generate them from """"inkscape --extension-directory"""
        ]),
    App('GIMP',
        start_command_and_args = ['env', '-i', 'DISPLAY=:0', '/home/suzanne/perso/dotfiles/nix/result/bin/gimp', '--new-instance'],
        xwininfo_filter_re = r'gimp',
        extra_xprop_filter = lambda processId, windowId, i: x11prop(windowId, 'WM_STATE',  'WM_STATE') is not None,
        tools = []))

I've been working on being able to call e.g. Inkscape tools as a FreeCAD parametric object, that requires a bit more legwork as one needs to describe the CLI interface of Inkscape, how to export a FreeCAD shape and import an SVG, and generate a list of tools that can be called. That's just in a completely cahotic WIP state

Hi,

Just something to practice in FreeCad. Mannequin/dummy in full scale (approx. 1850 mm height) as addon to assemblies.

Modelled from scratch.
