Macro Texture Objects

This macro allows you to temporarily put a texture image on selected objects. To remove the textures, simply close and reopen the document.

import FreeCADGui
from PySide import QtGui
from pivy import coin

# get a jpg filename
jpgfilename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(QtGui.qApp.activeWindow(),'Open image file','*.jpg')

# apply textures
for obj in FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelection():
    rootnode = obj.ViewObject.RootNode
    tex =  coin.SoTexture2()
    tex.filename = str(jpgfilename[0])
    rootnode.insertChild(tex,1)
