Some operations which are useful on meshes are not meaningful on a BREP model and can not be fully supported. Therefore conversion from CSG to BREP should, in theory, be possible whereas conversion from BREP to CSG is, in general, not. The FreeCAD geometry kernel (OCCT) works using a boundary representation. FreeCAD allows you to create CSG with primitives as well. OpenSCAD creates constructive solid geometry, as well as imports mesh files and extrudes 2D geometry from DXF files. Preferences: preferences available for the OpenSCAD tools.Minkowski: Applies a minkowski sum to selected shapes.Hull: Applies a hull to selected shapes.Mesh Boolean: Creates new mesh object by boolean operation from shapes.Add OpenSCAD Element: Add an OpenSCAD element by entering OpenSCAD code into the task panel.Explode Group: Explodes fused part primitives.Expand Placements: Expand all placements downwards the FeatureTree.Useful to prepare imported DXF geometry for extrusion. Convert Edges To Faces: Convert edges to faces.Increase Tolerance Feature: Increases tolerance of edges/faces/vertex of selected object(s).Resize Mesh Feature: Resize a Mesh Feature.Scale Mesh Feature: Scale a Mesh Feature.Mirror Mesh Feature: Create Mirror Mesh Feature.

Refine Shape Feature: Create Refine Shape Feature.

Remove Subtree: Removes the selected objects and all children that are not referenced from other objects.

Replace Object: Replace an object in the feature tree.

Color Code Shape: Change the color of selected or all shapes based on their validity.

Instead, if OpenSCAD is installed, it can be used to convert the input to the CSG format, which is a subset of the OpenSCAD language, and can be used as the input to OpenSCAD for further processing.ĭuring conversion all parametric behavior is lost, meaning that all variable names are discarded, loops expanded, and mathematical expressions evaluated. Currently the OpenSCAD Workbench cannot handle the OpenSCAD language natively. This high degree of flexibility makes parsing very complex. It allows you to specify sub-modules to reuse geometry and code. The OpenSCAD language allows the use of variables and loops.

It also contains general purpose tools that do not require installation of OpenSCAD they can be used in conjunction with other workbenches. This workbench contains functions to modify the CSG feature tree and repair models. Geometry which is not based on CSG operations will be exported as a mesh. It contains a CSG importer to open the CSG files from OpenSCAD, and an exporter to output a CSG based tree. The OpenCASCADE libraries are always needed to use FreeCAD, while the OpenSCAD executable is entirely optional. OpenSCAD should not be confused with OpenCASCADE, which is the geometrical kernel that FreeCAD uses to build geometry on screen.

This program is not distributed as part of FreeCAD, but should be installed to make full use of this workbench.

OPENSCAD MODELS SOFTWARE

The OpenSCAD Workbench is intended to offer interoperability with the open source software OpenSCAD.
