Open Source License for Hardware Query

I have developed a modular multipurpose spaceframe system. Using FreeCAD I have prepared all the necessary stl files for manufacturing, an assembled roof section, and a technical drawing for each part. I have approached a number of scaffold companies to see if they are interested in manufacturing a ...

Re: Macros to select Faces & Vertexes

I have inserted the code for a Select Faces Macro below. I tried the ChatGTP approach again but "IT" couldn't produce a code that worked so I resorted to "Human Intelligence" ;) I uploaded my attempt at the code that I had sent to ChatGTP on the Python Forum and Roy_043 went thro...

Re: Macros to select Faces & Vertexes
