Description
This tool checks the current document or the selected objects for non-solid Part or
Arch objects, that might give problems, since most operations of the Arch Workbench require solid objects.
Usage
Scripting
See also: Arch API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
This tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:
list_bad = check(objectslist, includehidden=False)
- Checks if the given objects in
objectslist
contain only solids. - If
includehidden
isTrue
it will include all hidden objects, otherwise it will omit them from the search. - Returns
list_bad
, a list with the objects that are not derived from aPart::Feature
, or components that are not closed, not valid, don't contain solids, or that contain faces that are not part of any solid. This is used to detect Arch or Draft wires and profiles that aren't solids.- Each element in
list_bad
is another list[object, message]
, whereobject
is the detected non-solid, andmessage
indicates the reason why it was included in this list.
- Each element in
Example:
import FreeCAD, Draft, Arch
p1 = FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = FreeCAD.Vector(2000, 0, 0)
baseline = Draft.makeLine(p1, p2)
Wall1 = Arch.makeWall(baseline, length=None, width=150, height=2000)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Wall2 = Arch.makeWall(None, length=2000, width=200, height=1000)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Circle = Draft.makeCircle(450)
Wire = Draft.makeWire([FreeCAD.Vector(1000, 0, 0), FreeCAD.Vector(1500, 1000, 0), FreeCAD.Vector(2500, -1000, 0)])
list_bad = Arch.check([Wall1, Wall2, Circle, Wire], includehidden=True)
print(list_bad)
