Tool utility that creates:
- Origin (X, Y Z axes, Origin 6A33 (0,0,0) point and XZ, XY, YZ planes)
- Points (Center of Mass of object(s), mid points, center of circle, ...),
- Axes (from 2 points, Normal of a plane...),
- Planes (from 3 points, from one axis and a point...)
and many other useful features to facilitate the creation of your project.
Version 2024-12 by @Rentlau_64 This project is a fork of @wood-galaxy's FC-WorkFeature macro
Download and install FreeCAD from wiki Download page and either install this macro by:
- using the FreeCAD Addon Manager to easily install WorkFeatures and other interesting macros or,
- manually by copying the WorkFeature folder into the Macro sub-directory of the FreeCAD application (most of the time ~/.FreeCAD/Macro).
Tip: Learn more about Macros at "How to install FreeCAD macros" for more details.
Freecad >= v0.15
Numpy is a required dependency (numpy >= v1.14.3).
The development of the macro is still currently done with Python2.7 but now compatible with Python3
(so this addon is py3 compatible (yet) and was tested on FreeCAD >= v0.18 :FreeCAD_0.18.15671_Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage).
Please "Open an issue", if you detect any problem.
This utility is in the combo view labeled "Work Features".
Several Tab panels will be added into this widget:
- Origin (for Origin tools)
- Point (for Point creation)
- Axis (for Axis creation)
- Circle (for Circle and Ellipse creation)
- Plane (for Plane creation)
- Object (for Bounding box and Object creation)
- View (for View change)
- Modif. (for Object cutting)
This macro will create a new Group named WorkFeatures.
Depending of the tool you will use, it can create the following sub-Groups:
- WorkFeatures/
- Origin
- WorkPoints
- WorkAxes
- WorkPlanes
- WorkBoxes
- WorkObjects
