Enhancement Request to add parametrized pipes #371

Open Ameritronik opened 2 months ago

Ameritronik commented 2 months ago

@ Shai Seger, Thank you for a great addition to Freecad. Wondering if you could add a parametrized pipe, like you have the box, U section, angles etc. Preferable the pipes would be defined as:

  1. cross section of a regular polygon, or a circle
  2. thickness of the sheet as separate entry
  3. minimum gaps defined by sheet thickness, with user able to increase gap size
  4. length of pipe would be center-axial line including any bends etc (probably harder to implement)
  5. angles of pipes bent at distances from one end or arcs (if possible )
  6. flanges at either end or one end.
  7. minimum flanges width based on geometry computed by code, maximum set by user Probably a big list, but I think it would be useful for many HVAC duct works Regards

can you attach a sample of manually created such pipe? (say, a round one and a hexagonal one with flanges)

I do not see the attachment. Perhaps you need to answer directly on github and not by mail.
