Draft Facebinder/es

Descripción
El ”facebinder” un objeto muy simple construido a partir de caras seleccionadas de otros objetos. Es de tipo paramétrico, puede modificar el objeto original y las actualizaciones del objeto de faceta en consecuencia. Luego se puede usar, por ejemplo, para hacer una extrusión de una colección de caras de otros objetos. Un uso típico es en el diseño arquitectónico, para construir un objeto que cubre varias piezas de paredes. Puede mover y rotar el encuadernador después de su creación, todo permanecerá vinculado a las caras originales.

It can be used to create an extrusion from a collection of faces from other objects. A typical use is in architectural design to build an object that covers several walls, for example, a wall paper, or wall finish.



Utilización

 * 1) Pick one face, or hold  and pick several faces, from solid objects.
 * 2) Press the  button, or press  then  keys.

The Facebinder can be edited by double clicking on the element in the tree view. Then you can change the faces that are part of the object.
 * To add a face, click on a face of a solid object in the 3D view, and then click on the button.
 * To remove a face, select one of the sub-elements in the list, and then click on the button.
 * Press or the  button to complete the edition.

Options
This object has no options when it's being created. Only selected faces will be used to create the Facebinder object.

Data

 * : specifies an extrusion thickness to apply to all faces of the shape.
 * : if it is it tries to fuse the internal intersections of the Facebinder when it extruded.
 * : if it is it tries to perform a topological sewing operation on the Facebinder when it extruded.
 * : specifies an offset distance to apply betweenthe facebinder and the original faces, prior to extrusion.
 * : the total area of this facebinder.

View

 * : specifies a Draft Pattern with which to fill the face of the shape. This property only works if is "Flat Lines".
 * : specifies the size of the Draft Pattern.

Scripting
Draft API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The Facebinder tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:

A is a list of tuples; each tuple contains as first element an, and as second element a list (or tuple) of strings; these strings indicate the names of the sub-elements (faces) of that object.
 * Creates a object from the given, which is a list of s as returned by . Only selected faces are taken into account.
 * can also be a.

The thickness of the Facebinder can be added by overwriting its attribute; the value is entered in millimeters.

The placement of the Facebinder can be changed by overwriting its attribute, or by individually overwriting its  and  attributes.
