Idea. The miters on the bends #357

Open lninio opened 1 month ago

lninio commented 1 month ago

Implement automatic miters on bends if two bends with a relatively large radius are joined and there is not enough space at the junction for elongation. A typical example is the metal contacts of a 9V battery (6f22). In the image below, I have given the appearance of the contacts of this type of battery, as well as a possible view of the result of processing the coupling of bends in FreeCAD.

Yes. Basically you want the existing Auto-Miter to apply also on the round part.

lninio commented 1 month ago

Yes, it is. Otherwise, I get some redundant gaps around round areas. There are no necessary parameter values for the correct model. изображение

Another possible way is to use an "Extend face" and six separate bends for each "petal". But the result will still be wrong, because there is an intersection of bends.

Would be useful for hems (see #302).
