#File: Ex017_Shelling_to_Create_Thin_Features.py
|
|
#To use this example file, you need to first follow the "Using CadQuery From Inside FreeCAD"
|
|
#instructions here: https://github.com/dcowden/cadquery#installing----using-cadquery-from-inside-freecad
|
|
|
|
#You run this example by typing the following in the FreeCAD python console, making sure to change
|
|
#the path to this example, and the name of the example appropriately.
|
|
#import sys
|
|
#sys.path.append('/home/user/Downloads/cadquery/examples/FreeCAD')
|
|
#import Ex017_Shelling_to_Create_Thin_Features
|
|
|
|
#If you need to reload the part after making a change, you can use the following lines within the FreeCAD console.
|
|
#reload(Ex017_Shelling_to_Create_Thin_Features)
|
|
|
|
#You'll need to delete the original shape that was created, and the new shape should be named sequentially (Shape001, etc).
|
|
|
|
#You can also tie these blocks of code to macros, buttons, and keybindings in FreeCAD for quicker access.
|
|
#You can get a more information on this example at http://parametricparts.com/docs/examples.html#an-extruded-prismatic-solid

#Get a cadquery solid object

#Use the wrapped property of a cadquery primitive to get a FreeCAD solid

#Would like to zoom to fit the part here, but FreeCAD doesn't seem to have that scripting functionality
