Description
The Part Wedge command creates a parametric wedge solid.
FreeCAD creates a wedge, with a larger front square and a smaller back square.
By default, the wedge is positioned with the lower left corner at the origin (0,0,0). The front square of the wedge is on the xz-plane. Its extension in x, y and z direction follows the positive axis values.
Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Create Primitives... button.
- Select the Part → Create Primitives → Create Primitives... option from the menu.
- Select the Wedge option from the menu.
- Set options and press Create.
- To close the dialog press Close.
Example
A Part Wedge object with the values of the bottom scripting example are shown here.
Default Size and Placement
Placement: The default orientation places the base in the XZ plane and the top outward in the Y axis direction. The default base corner is the 0,0,0 origin.
Base Face:
- X : 10 mm
- Z : 10 mm
Height:
- Y : 0-10 mm
Top Face:
- X : 2-8 mm
- Z : 2-8 mm

A Part Wedge object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Scripting
A Part Wedge is created with the addObject()
method of the document.
wedge = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Wedge", "myWedge")
- Where
myWedge
is the name for the object. The name must be unique for the entire document. - The function returns the newly created object.
The Label
is the user editable name for the object. It can be easily changed by
wedge.Label = "new myWedgeName"
You can access and modify attributes of the wedge
object. For example, you may wish to modify the minimum or maximum coordinate parameters.
wedge.Xmin = 1
wedge.Ymin = 2
wedge.Zmin = 3
wedge.X2min = 4
wedge.Z2min = 6
wedge.Xmax = 15
wedge.Ymax = 20
wedge.Zmax = 55
wedge.X2max = 10
wedge.Z2max = 12
You can change its placement and orientation with:
wedge.Placement = FreeCAD.Placement(FreeCAD.Vector(1, 2, 3), FreeCAD.Rotation(75, 60, 30))
