10 May : Today, I created this page to put my daily progress. And created page https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/User_talk:Suraj_Dadral/GSoC19/logs to keep users wish list.

11 May : Today, I created UI for Column Reinforcement and can be found here.

12 May : Today, I changed the UI according to suggestions by mentors and freecad community and can be found here. I compiled FreeCAD plugin for Qt Designer and started using it in creating UI.

13 May : Today, I changed the UI and implemented the front end of UI. I learned how to hide and unhide items from layout. And here are related commits: commit1, commit2 Added orientation for LShapeRebars to UI and created the required functions for handling them. And here is commit.

15 May : Modified UI and add fields "Hook Extension" and "Rounding" for LShape Rebar Hook to UI. And started writing function to Create SingleTieFourRebars Column Reinforcement via UI.

16 May : Add functions to create SingleTieFourRebars Column Reinforcement via UI. Now, user can create this through UI using following code snippet:

Related git commit: commit

30 June : Done changes suggested by @amrit3701 as discussed here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35077&start=140#p317848 and started creating dialog box for editing Number#Diameter string.

1 July : Complete implementation of dialog box for editing Number#Diameter string as discussed here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35077&start=140#p318133 and related commit is: commit

2 - 3 July : Refactor code. Create function for code which creates x-direction and y-direction rebars. This function is executed while creating and editing Single Tie Multiple Rebars column reinforcement. commit

4 - 5 July : Create function to edit xdir/ydir rebars. In previous implementation: - Every time xdir/ydir rebars are deleted and recreated, when user open dialog box to edit column reinforcement. No matter if user change any parameter or not, xdir/ydir rebars were always recreated. Now: - xdir/ydir rebars will only be recreated when user changes the "rebars type" or "number#diameter" of xdir/ydir rebars, otherwise they will be edited. commit
