Wood Frame Workbench/en

Introduction
A complementary workbench for FreeCAD whose main goal is to provide tools to facilitate the modelling of wooden constructions (frame, timber frame, etc ...). This is a fork from FreeCAD-Timber (Jonathan Wiedemann wood-galaxy), which is no longer maintained.

Functions

 * Create beams with advanced positioning.
 * Create panels with advanced positioning.
 * Attributes, used to select and filter objects (name, groups, sub-group, material, type ....) easily.
 * Select and show by attributes.
 * Listing for invoices and production list.

Tools
Wood Frame comes with the following tools:
 * Add a layer to the document: objects added to a layer can share the same visual properties.
 * Add a wood beam. To move insertion point, use the Numpad.
 * Add a wood panel. This tool operates similarly to Add beam, but with panel size restriction. To move insertion point, use the Numpad.
 * Cut an object with a plane.
 * Cut an object with a line with a normal work plane.
 * Copy object: duplicates an element.
 * Stretch tool: select an end of a beam and add or remove to its length.
 * Edit the attributes of existing objects (name, groups, sub-group, material, type...).
 * Select or hide elements in the 3D view by their specific attributes.
 * Create wood beams listing: Generate a Spreadsheet listing of the different materials selected in the 3D view.
 * Edit attributes.
 * Select by attributes.
 * Align camera-view on the current Work plane: Align view from current work plane.
 * Create exporter container: Create volume which contains objects to export, and configure views.
 * Add view to a container for export.
 * Export views to DXF: Export container views in a DXF file.

Further resources

 * Workbench documentation and demonstration videos.
 * Help: forum discussion.
