Use a script to export as DAE

[JorgeFernandes]

Hi everyone.

How can I export a loaded step as a .dae file?

Code: Select all

 path = 'bim.step'
 s = Part.Shape()
 s.read(path)

To stl I can do:

Code: Select all

s.exportStl(out_path)

Is there something similar to date?


My system:

Code: Select all

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (ubuntu:GNOME/ubuntu-xorg)
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.
Build type: Release
Python version: 3.10.2
Qt version: 5.15.2
Coin version: 4.0.0
OCC version: 7.5.1

Thanks in advance.

If you do the export manually, you will see usable Python code in the Python console.

Thanks for the reply.

I already try that but I can't figure out the proper way to make it work.

Code: Select all

import Part
import importDAE

path = "C:/Downloads/Test.step"
s = Part.Shape()
s.read(path)

obj = Part.show(s) # Create a document object.
importDAE.export([obj], "C:/Downloads/Test.dae")

path = "C:/Downloads/Test.step"
s = Part.Shape()
s.read(path)

obj = Part.show(s) # Create a document object.
importDAE.export([obj], "C:/Downloads/Test.dae")

Thanks a lot. I'll try it and see if it works.

This works perfectly. Thanks again for the help.

I have another question:

I can change the resolution, how can I do that with code?
