Met a really interesting person this morning who is setting up a bike business which includes frame building from recycled materials. They want to learn @FreeCAD so they have DL'd my book. I know very little about frames, but I wanted some #CAD practice so... #biketooter#fc3d
It's Friday once again! Hope everyone has an excellent weekend. Feel free to show us what you are working on using #FreeCADFriday to tag! #freecad#fc3d
WIP Wednesday 10 April 2024
In the toponaming project, bgbsww added more tests and updated existing ones, and CalligaroV fixed two bugs.
In Arch, yorikvanhavre upgraded the reference tool, so that it could work with DXF and IFC files (NativeIFC is required for the latter), and paullee0 fixed a regression that occured when making a block from a DraftWire.
I had wondered how the broken sections would be defined. Using objects in the model instead of lines in the drawing means that the breaks can easily be parametric. I like this design choice!
It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?
The #FreeCAD Part Design Hole tool is amazingly versatile. I wish, though, that its Size parameter could be driven by configuration. I'm designing a part where I'd love to choose different size threaded holes as part of the overall configuration, but I can't do that. Small configurations would take M2, medium M3, and large M4 or M5. #fc3d
What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
