Description
This tool identifies holes (circular sequence of open edges) in a Shape object and attempts to close it by adding it a new face made from that edges sequence. You must still verify yourself that the result is a solid, though.
Usage
- Select a Shape object.
- Press the
Close Holes entry in Arch → Utilities → Close Holes.
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:
solid = closeHole(shape)
- Closes a hole in a
shape
, which is aPart.Shape
, and returns the newsolid
object.
Example:
import FreeCAD, Draft, Arch
Line = Draft.makeWire([FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0),FreeCAD.Vector(2000, 2000, 0)])
Wall = Arch.makeWall(Line, width=150, height=3000)
Box = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Box", "Box")
Box.Length = 900
Box.Width = 450
Box.Height = 2000
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Draft.rotate(Box, 45)
Draft.move(Box, FreeCAD.Vector(1000, 700, 0))
Arch.removeComponents(Box, Wall)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
solid = Arch.closeHole(Wall.Shape)
