Arch Add/ru

Description

The Add tool allows you to do 4 kinds of operations:

• Add shape-based objects to an Arch component, such as a wall or structure. These objects make then part of the Arch component, and allow you to modify its shape but keeping its base properties such as width and height
• Add Arch components, such as a walls or structures, to a group-based arch object such as floors.
• Add axis systems to structural objects
• Add objects to section planes

In the above image, a box is being added to a wall.

How to use

1. Select the object(s) to be added, then the "host" object (the host object must be the last one you selected)
2. Press the Add button

Scripting

The Add tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:

addComponents (objectsList,hostObject) 

• Adds the given object or the objects from the given list as components to the given host Object. Use this for example to add windows to a wall, or to add walls to a floor.
• Returns nothing.

Example:

import FreeCAD, Arch, Draft, Part
line = Draft.makeWire([FreeCAD.Vector(0,0,0),FreeCAD.Vector(2,2,0)])
wall = Arch.makeWall(line)
box = Part.makeBox(1,1,1)
Arch.addComponents(box,wall)
