FreeCAD > v0.16
python > 3 (for python2 use branch py2)
Starting from v0.17 it's possible to use the built-in FreeCAD Addon Manager
located in the Tools
> Addon Manager
dropdown menu.
pip install https://github.com/looooo/FCGear/archive/master.tar.gz
Important note: Most systems have multiple versions of python installed. Make sure the pip
you're using is used by FreeCAD as well.
Use the power of python to automate your gear modeling:
import FreeCAD as App
import freecad.gears.commands
gear = freecad.gears.commands.CreateInvoluteGear.create()
gear.teeth = 20
gear.beta = 20
gear.height = 10
gear.double_helix = True
App.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Gui.SendMsgToActiveView("ViewFit")
