ReverseEnginnering WB

Post by onekk »

Hello, there are some imformation about the ReverseEngineering WB

I'm experimenting with it and found some quirks, see maybe:

https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 84#p617984

But the parameters are not documented except from some hints.

Also the source code is not helping too much, at least for what I have seen analysing:

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... eering.cpp

TIA and Regards

RE WB has been wmayer's pet project, from what I understand. It would be awesome to see it evolve. But wmayer's attention is spread in so many directions...

It doesn't really fit there. The Surface wb mainly depends on curves or other surfaces while the input data for the reverse-engineering algorithms are mainly meshes and sometimes point clouds.

However, an option for the future is to incorporate the commands of the ReverseEngineering wb into the Surface wb.
