Connect two face and fill empty espace

You are welcome. In fact, I want to make a remark in last post but it turn out disappeared - ' it works in most cases but sometime it does not work as ideal". That's some cases I want to attack when there is more time later, or someone more capable can resolve it ? Good luck

p.s. The test you did somehow tell you how the ArchWall underlying algorithm works, and fails

I will work on it and tell you more in the future, but I don't think that I am capable than you

Not a direct answer to problem :

ArchWall build wall base on wire. It use DraftGeomUtils.offsetWire to offset each segment of wire, and connect each offset segment to form the baseplate, similar to effect you are looking for.

Check getExtrusionData(self,obj) in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... rchWall.py

many Thanks to your attention to use offsetWire. but it seems it has some bug! for example:

Code: Select all

import Part
import DraftGeomUtils

def get_left_right_offset_wire_and_shape(wire, left_width, right_width):
	normal = FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 1)
	dvec = DraftGeomUtils.vec(wire.Edges[0]).cross(normal)
	dvec.normalize()
	dvec.multiply(right_width)
	right_wire = DraftGeomUtils.offsetWire(wire,dvec)
	# right_wire = remove_null_edges_from_wire(right_wire)
	dvec = DraftGeomUtils.vec(wire.Edges[0]).cross(normal)
	dvec.normalize()
	dvec = dvec.negative()
	dvec.multiply(left_width)
	left_wire = DraftGeomUtils.offsetWire(wire,dvec)
	# left_wire = remove_null_edges_from_wire(left_wire)
	shape = DraftGeomUtils.bind(left_wire, right_wire)
	return shape, left_wire, right_wire


xyz = [(-2833.707275390625, 1849.1832275390625, 0.0), (0.0, 1600.0, -2400.0), (4740.0, 1600.0, -2400.0), (7640.0, 1600.0, -2400.0), (13180.0, 1600.0, -2400.0), (20930.0, 1600.0, -2400.0), (28500.0, 1600.0, -2400.0), (31550.0, 1600.0, -2400.0), (35510.0, 1600.0, -2400.0), (42239.84765625, 1604.4844970703125, 0.0)]
edges = []
for p1, p2 in zip(xyz[:-1], xyz[1:]):
    p1 = App.Vector(p1)
    p2 = App.Vector(p2)
    e = Part.makeLine(p1, p2)
    edges.append(e)
wire = Part.Wire(edges)
sh, lw, rw = get_left_right_offset_wire_and_shape(wire, 500, 500)

run this code, the main wire has 9 Edges, while both left and right wire has 10 edges and bind method can't bind them.

Code seems right, seem no clue where is the problem and would suggest you try the latest 0.20_pre code, but...

.. seem you have in the xyz list, the 1st and last point z-coordinate at 0.0, while others at -2400.0.



Haven't tried but thought the code only work on co-planar wire

Try make the 2 points z-coordinate at -2400 first...

Oh, yes, that's right. All lines imported from another model data and only first and last lines that I added , had z = 0. The problem is that I must change the working plane offset:

Code: Select all

FreeCAD.DraftWorkingPlane.alignToPointAndAxis(FreeCAD.Vector(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 1), -2400.0)

thank you so much paullee

Hi @paullee. finally I finished my task for creating foundation. the concept is:

1- user draw some line (beam) with start and end points

beams.png (6.3 KiB) Viewed 2122 times

2- user can create automatically the continuous base shape of foundation. I categorize this in x and y direction with red and blue color (say it wall)

base.png (21.73 KiB) Viewed 2122 times

3- creating foundation shape: user can choose which base foundation must be continuous and which must be cut:

Impressive Ebrahim!

If this works it's a dream that come true. Thanks a lot for sharing this idea!

Thanks a lot. This is main function to create foundation shape:

https://github.com/ebrahimraeyat/Civil/ ... cs.py#L590

This function is for finding continuous edges respect to angle between them:

Congratulation!

If you try with the ArchWall tool, just set the Height as the 'thickness' of the beam, it is basically the same thing right?


Try select the Wires (or Sketches?) and click Arch Wall.


Just curious about 2 things without examining your codes (too advanced for me):-

1. Are the outermost wires on left, top, and right separate or continuous in your example? If they are separate, how do the code know they should be connected?
2. The Arch Wall tool has Align and Offset attribute to tell how the Wall should be created relative to the underlying Base edges (like 'wall axis'). Seem your code do the same thing?

Thanks !

Thanks @paullee

The beam objects don't not have thickness or height property, only start_point and end_point. in my model the base foundation shapes have all needed properties to create the foundation shape, like layer (A, B), height, beams, left_width, right_width, width, fix_width_from (left, right, center), ...

if i select the beams and click the arch wall, each beam create a separate wall. I know the algorithem for Arch wall. but I wanted some extra property:

1- I written an algorithm for recognize continuous beams in model. It gets a list of beams and an angle. angle is the largest acceptable angle between two beams to be consider as continuous.

https://github.com/ebrahimraeyat/Civil/ ... s.py#L1014

2- my base foundations objects, have width, left_width, right_width and fix_width_from (left, right, center). if for example user choose to align from left, setting fix_width_from = left, program gets left_width as left width and right_width = width - left_width and ignore right_width the user input.

https://github.com/ebrahimraeyat/Civil/ ... on.py#L176

Thanks for your attention.

[paullee]

Thanks for explanation.

One more thought, maybe you can ping @bernd / @yorik to see how your object can include some structural modelling elements (structural axis ?) to facilitate structural analysis ? (FEM ?)
