Maybe there is functionality you can use in there for Design456 ?

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

I quickly looked at that WB. I will come back to look at it. At the moment I am busy with implementing the widget toolkit for coin3D. That will be the core of the new interface of visualization of manipulation of 3D shape.. I must get it work before I can do anything else. We had a discussion which way should I take and after that I decided to continue developing the widget set..It must make it easy to draw things in the 3D world much easier than now. thanks for mentioning that. I really wish to sum all the efforts in a GOOD workbench. I don't like the fragmentation we have in FreeCAD. Each part has a functionality which might be difficult for all users to know where and how to use it (install it).

@luzpaz @carlopav Hi, Even though many FreeCAD people know that I am working on the direct modeling project and I need to deeply understand the COIN3D and OpenCascade, no one really pointed out for me (for example) some sample codes that uses the script to draw inside coin3d world. One link that I share here is https://github.com/coin3d/pivy/tree/master/examples/Mentor which has got many Pivy sample images created by pivy or coin3d. That will definitely help in understanding how you can draw variant of shapes. There might be more out there .. which I don't know, but unfortunately no one tells you. Often I tried to find these kind of things in the documentation .. but no there isn't any hint there. It is sad that the time you need to learn becomes so long while you could make it shorter with help of the freecad community. Many time when I put even a simple question .. no one care .. Later I delete the question since there is no sense to keep it just sad.

The link does not seem to work...

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

test it now

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

@luzpaz @carlopav Look at this new rep. https://github.com/MariwanJ/COIN3D_Examples

carlopav commented 3 years ago

Nice! @luzpaz would be good to add them to the Wiki if they are not already presents.

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

@luzpaz @carlopav All possible file-conversion are made. I really shocked how many info you get from these files. It will help me a to make nicer, better functionality in freecad .. I will be updating some of the new tools already made.. Using, reading the code help you alot.

@carlopav any suggestions on where in the wiki ? (that's usually the hard thing to determine...lol)

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

@luzpaz I believe it should be some where in the definition of Pivy and COIN3D .. But it should has it's own page. Later we can take screenshot of each example. This is a great opportunity to push up our development knowledge really.

luzpaz commented 3 years ago

Any proposals for a page name?

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

Would you ask in the forum? :) maybe better to ask there .. The link is here . https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=60499&p=519132#p519132

carlopav commented 3 years ago

I suggest https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Code_snippets There Is a section with scene graph manipulation with pivy.

luzpaz commented 3 years ago

created a placeholder https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Coin3d_snippets

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

thanks @luzpaz . But I can no longer login to the wiki pages. I asked one of the admin to change my user name to mariwan .. but nothing happened. I wounder if not something went wrong? The user was @jmaustpc

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

@luzpaz please consider looking to the page I created .. and maybe release it

https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Coin3d_snippets#Notes%3A thanks.

MariwanJ commented 3 years ago

@carlopav Have you seen that software? https://sourceforge.net/projects/coindesigner/#screenshots http://coindesigner.sourceforge.net/

carlopav commented 3 years ago

@MariwanJ interesting. I'll check It out!

MariwanJ commented 2 years ago

I already looked at the de-featuring and I might use some of the code or ideas there. I close this as I am already looking at it and taking ideas from it. thanks.
