Macro Wiki Object Properties List Generator

Description
This macro generates lists of properties of the selected object in different forms in Wiki format. The list is printed to the Report view of FreeCAD. This macro can be used to simplify working with this Wiki with some restrictions. The property lists published in Wiki usually contain only unique parameters. Parameters inherited from parent objects are not published.

This script automatically removes inherited parameters from the list. But due to the software limitations of FreeCAD, it cannot delete absolutely all inherited parameters, so the lists generated by this script should be carefully checked before publishing.

Introduction
Each object created in FreeCAD is inherited from the parent object. The structure of these relationships is shown in the diagram below. You can read more about this on the page: Part Feature



How To Use

 * Preparing:
 * Copy code of Macro from this page and place it in a new *.FCMacro file.
 * Save FCMacro file, and place it in the FreeCAD Macros folder.
 * Disable Include a timecode for each entry checkbox in Preferences -> General -> Output window (Tab).


 * First using:
 * Select (or create and select) only one object in tree view the type of you need.
 * Select Macro -> Macros... item in main menu.
 * In opened window find *.FCMacro file what you save letter and press Execute Button.
 * In the dialog that opens, select the type of report that you want to get by pressing button:
 * Only Main - prints only unique properties of base (parent) classes.
 * All Properties - prints absolutely all properties of selected object.
 * Inherits+Unique Properties - prints only unique properties with included inherits report.
 * Only Unique Properties - prints only unique properties.


 * How to use again:
 * To quickly run this macro again, you can use keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+1 (on Windows) it will launch the last run macro.

Recommendations
Do not delete spaces between lines. This is necessary to simplify the translation. Each line separated by a space will be considered a separate part for translation. When creating texts, always remember that large monolithic fragments of text are difficult for translators to translate.

Examples of using

 * For example open the Part Workbench
 * Create a Sphere object.
 * Select the created Sphere object.
 * Run the macro.
 * Press one of the buttons in the dialog that opens.

The macro will generate a report depending on which button you clicked.

Note that the order of the lines in the parameter editor may differ from the order of the lines made by the generator.

View

 * : Display object bounding box


 * : Set the display mode


 * : Show the object in the tree view


 * : Show the object in the 3d view

The default value is 28.5 degrees, or 0.5 radians. The smaller the value the smoother the appearance in the 3D view, and the finer the mesh that will be exported.
 * : Specify how finely to generate the mesh for rendering on screen or when exporting.
