Re: Need advice on how to extend a PartDesign sweep...

The Extrude was straightforward, though. Did you just use the "taper outward angle" option for the part extrude? No, just use Dir in Extrude - need to calculate figures of x,y,z in fact. For example in my file, it just happen z-direction is simply '1'. I've really debated whether to use P...

Re: Need advice on how to extend a PartDesign sweep...

Since 0.17 drastic improvement, have not dug into the EDIT: PartDesign features and workflow :( Can't help myself doing this exercise with simple sketch + part (+ trigonometry) :) (I am lazy to put the sketches I copy from yours in exactly the same position of the original...) Make a copy of the pro...

Re: Need advice on how to extend a PartDesign sweep...

Glad to see another familiar structure that sometime see in a building site :) No much idea indeed - add a end piece by loft? The sketch for the end could be scaled parametrically from the original sketch and depends on the angle. Not exactly the same thing, an elliptical / circular profile tunnel s...

Re: arch/BIM WB wall blocks new feature

Indeed there is no tool to convert old walls... At some point we should add a more robust property handling in Draft/Arch that adds missing properties automatically. Hi, just curious if onDocumentRestored() could be used and any problem with this approach? def onDocumentRestored(self, fp): if not h...

Re: Fedora packages

Hi, thanks for the 0.17_pre repo which I had used for a long while until I found the adopted OCE (6.8.1 ?) has some problematic bugs that can not be circumvented, then I turn to use AppImage (using OCC7.2.0) which let me run at least with some other limitation. Fedora official seem stuck with 0.16 +...

Re: Refactoring / Improving the rebar tool codebase...

It's a given that links break. Just making a large change in the structure will likely break something. I still see value in at least allowing for this feature if only because rebar design is a finishing detail. That is, the user is likely to have dialied in the structure design for the most part b...

Re: Refactoring / Improving the rebar tool codebase...

2. Constrain the rebar sketch to the structure geometry so that changes in the structure (small changes, anyway), will be reflected in the rebar sketch as well. The array of solids that Yorik's code generates will still be broken, but that's a simple matter of deleting the rebar object and re-runni...
