My approach to sketches was what I imagined was the most intuitive for a Sketch based architectural workflow. Hi and what I've understood of the very useful info you've shared here, I got some clues to what might be happening with my breaking Sketches.įor me to be able to better share with you the process I followed, I will try to quickly describe it. Though I am more tend to work out a more intuitive and easier workflow for sketch layout and design development. Again, probably more specific recommendation can be provided with our model.Īnd you would find Yorik had introduced lots of features useful in Architectural Modeling as announced from time to time in his blog (I like BuildiingPart every much). One is IMHO Do Not use Link to External Geometry in Sketch.
BEING PRODUCTIVE USING FREECAD CODE
Next is cleaning up code to make placement of window intuitive and parametric.īut as Yorik says, make Sketch lighter and with some 'best practice' to workaround the problem you faced. As said, each edge / wall segment on a Sketch Wall can now have individual Width and Align as discussed here. And there are a lot to be done (hope someone may also find there is potential on this route and develop) to make the workflow productive (lot of ideas found in OSArch / FreeCAD forum indeed). But I have not made my implementation public as I found there is another better approach (Geometry Extension by abdullah) which I yet to experiment.Īnyway don't be mistaken, I am working through using Sketch as Base of Wall to see what are / would be issues there to resolve them along the process, hopefully work out an architect's 'intuitive' workflow. Thus in my implementation, I am using to build model like Villa Savoye with largely Sketches (some screencapture below), no worry about 'toponaming' problem even with subsequent editing.
The situation you suffer should not happen (better to understand if you have a sample model posted here). Thank you both for your points out some fundamental issues about Sketch in FC, but with due respect, IMHO Sketch should not have suffered from the 'toponaming' problem as discussed Here and could be resolved e.g. I will give it a second go but I'm honestly a bit sceptical at this point. I bet I would get there eventually but got really frustrated with sketches, so I gave up.
BEING PRODUCTIVE USING FREECAD WINDOWS
I tried editing the standard windows and I couldn't figure out how. I'd love to have windows to be configured with custom profiles. Doors and windows are key in my architecture and I like designing them freely. I also bang my head against standard windows and doors. I couldn't finish that investigation because as the sketches were raising in complexity everything was breaking. That would allow me to align the windows with interior geometry, and sketches at other levels.
The initial thought I had is that a sketch would usually be a floor plan and the windows are vertical (mostly), so my initial thought was to draw sketches for each facade and relate them to floor plan constraints. I would place them with plan constraints, that would also affect their width and then state their height placement and total height or height relative to other geometry.
BEING PRODUCTIVE USING FREECAD HOW TO
What I was trying hard to achieve but couldn't get how to do was to define windows based on the sketch geometry. I had a lot of trouble with windows in FreeCAD as they seemed awkward to place and if a wall would change because of some change on the base sketch, then the window would stay put and not connected to the wall. Where can I investigate what a wire is so I can use it? If I could safely use sketches I'd definitely use FreeCAD, at least to some have roughly saw your endeavours and even if I did't fully understood everything yet, it seems your work is mostly focused on windows and their placement.
