More progress on my 'Flatpack' #FreeCAD Workbench idea. The LCS points are already places as part of the #Assembly4 workflow, this Macro takes those points and creates Pockets or Pads based on the position of the Point, inside or outside the Bounding Box. https://git.oit.cloud/morgan/Flatpack_WB/src/branch/development/Macro/FlatpackWB.FCMacro
ok.... I have this dream #FreeCAD workbench to simplify one of my most common workflows, flat pack plywood construction. The issue is designing fingers/tab at the sketch level is a pain, especially when making major changes like changing stock thickness and variable stock thickness (narrow finger, thick stock). My goal is to use #Assembly4 LCS points to set locations and have the WB generate tabs and finger. Brain dump here. https://git.oit.cloud/morgan/Plywood_WB
#FreeCADFriday Revisiting a project as my 'I'm unemployed and will work on what I wish!' project. I'm really enjoying my approach on this project. Each piece of the #Assembly4 are created in the PartDesign WB, top down as if cut from plywood (cause they will be) and put together using Assembly 4. This allows a ton a flexibility because my part histories stay very shallow. DatumPlanes, offset with the same Spreadsheet values used for Pads, are used to not need to worry about Face names changing.
