I would like to make voronoid or delaunay pattern, but my python level is low.

Hi, thanks GlouGlou for the macro- great for adding knurling to any object. As I try to recreate german WW2 fighter style grip KG13 there is one little thing to ask- is there any way to change knurling horizontal and vertical angle ?


Looks like knurling is at some 30 deg angle of horizontal axis, while the one I can create looks more square :

Update 20.2.22
So after several restarts of Freecad I still get the same error message but now it works (the only difference is that earlier I had the macro in a custom folder and now it is in the "original" folder, I also renamed the macro from .py to .FSMacro if that is of any difference?

Hi, and thanks for the script. It seems just what I need but does it work in the latest version? When I try to use it on any face I just get this message:

Code: Select all

Part::FeaturePython / TileFace: Links go out of the allowed scope

I get the default 6x6 points and I can change the style but it seems I only get faces and I believe I should get solids? I opened the demo sketch from the first post and I get the following error three times (as there are three objects):

Code: Select all

<string>(1)<class 'AttributeError'>: Module __main__ has no class TileFace

I see the same solids as in the image in the post but I can't make any changes to the tiles. Any ideas on what is wrong? My setup details are below
