Re: Possibility of replacing Open CASCADE

Actually FreeCAD itself is pretty much "independent" of opencascade... You can even build freecad WITHOUT opencascade... It just won't be of any use... I think if there was another CAD kernel, would be even pretty easy to build up a new module on it, so one could have a "free" fr...

Re: artifacts in part view

Blender handles obj files well actually. But as I just answered in another post, it's easier to import FreeCAD geometry directly from blender with the freecad importer. I think making an .obj exporter for freecad in python can be simple, probably just taking blender's own obj exporter and adapting it.

Re: Exception

Yes, the dxf exporter only exports basic 2D entites at this moment... Exporting an igs file is 99% sure to be empty. Anyway exporting 3D to dxf wouldn't be very interesting because we could only use the "open" entities of the dxf format, and not the full 3D possibilities, which are coded i...

Re: Stratigraphic modelling

Yes, I'm also building a workflow which includes freecad and blender.... I'm working now on importing mesh geometry from blender and convert it efficiently to Part objects... The idea later on is to upgrade those part shapes into higher-level parametric objects, and output good 2D drawings and re-im...

Re: Stratigraphic modelling

This is probably a question for Yorik, "What is the way to get a Freecad model into .obj format so I can use it in blender without extra vertices added by STL translation?" There is even better than exporting to obj, there is a freecad importer for blender! http://wiki.blender.org/index.p...

Re: regenerating moc files

Hi midgetfc
I'm also on squeeze, I hadn't noticed the qt upgrade... I just tried and got the same error. Doing "make clean" seems to solve.
Cheers

Re: General Question on adding part

Just to keep you excited :twisted: , after you finished exploring the Part stuff and want more, know that you can do incredible things only with python, create totally parametric objects with the parameters you want, and make them interact any possible way: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free...

Re: General Question on adding part

Actually it depends. If you do dir(tempShape) (or simply typing temShape. in the interpreter) you'll see all the methods that you shape has available. In those methods, some modify the shape itself, other return a new shape. I think (not sure) there is not really a rule to know which one, but transl...
