[Plugin Request] Aluminum Profile Generator #3

Open jmwright opened 3 years ago

jmwright commented 3 years ago

Many types of aluminum extrusion have complex 2D shapes. Right now there is a multi-step process of downloading the profile's 2D DXF file, importing it into CadQuery, converting it to pending wires, and then extruding it. There is a lot of room for improvement and automation in this process.

For European users this might be a good source of geometries (B-type and I-type). I think same profiles are sold by Motedis
