Mr. Bram1 Kerkhofs1 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2018 Hi I was busy with checking if I could make a technical drawing from a brep.In attachment I put a shape, and I would like to make a drawing out of it. I tried to experiment with the 2D window a bit, and also with the FGIGeometry's that you get, but for now I can only make a drawing from a line, not from a surface or a brep. Anybody an idea? Thanks Bram2dWindow.fdbc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jörg 29 Report post Posted February 12, 2018 Hi Bram, Yes you are right - the 2D-drawing functionality covers only curves, and sections (e.g. from a section group that are generated on surfaces and breps). For breps itself, we have not implemented it yet. This is a TODO on our list. Here is a possible solution: Some users write their own feature definitions in CAESES to visualize 2D-data in the 3D-window - and then export it to have some sort of custom 2D-drawing. For breps, you can loop the edges (command: brep.getEdge(...)) and use "dimension lines" (menu > visualization > linear dimension) to set up a 2D drawing. This is a bit of manual work (typing the stuff in a feature) but on the other hand it allows you to customize it fully to your needs. Sorry for not having a faster solution available at the moment,Joerg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bram1 Kerkhofs1 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2018 Hi Joerg No problem,Thanks for the tip! If I can make the drawing to scale, that would be already good :).I put a working case in the attachment.It basically gets all the lines from a brep and puts them in FGIGeometries and loads them into the screen. Note: The input breps must be in between square brackets (as an objectlist) CheersBram2dWindow.fdbc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heinrich von Zadow 9 Report post Posted February 23, 2018 Hi Bram, I took a look at your file - it seems to do what it is supposed to do so far... Would you need further guidance? BR.Heinrich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
