The above image shows a series of panel objects, simply made from imported 2D contours from a DXF file. They can then be rotated and assembled to create structures.

Descripción

Esta herramienta le permite construir todo tipo de elementos tipo panel, típicamente para construcciones de paneles como el proyecto WikiHouse, pero también para todo tipo de objetos que se basan en un perfil plano.

La imagen de arriba muestra una serie de objetos del panel, simplemente hechos de contornos 2D importados de un archivo DXF. Luego se pueden rotar y ensamblar para crear estructuras.

Since version 0.17, the Arch Panel can also be used to create corrugated or trapezoidal profiles:


How to use

  1. Select a 2D shape (draft object, face or sketch) - optional
  2. Press the Arch Panel button, or press P then A keys
  3. Adjust the desired properties

Options

  • Panels share the common properties and behaviours of all Arch Components
  • The thickness of a panel can be adjusted after creation
  • Press ESC or the Cancel button to abort the current command.
  • Double-clicking on the panel in the tree view after it is created allows you to enter edit mode and access and modify its additions and subtractions
  • It is possible to automatically make panels composed of more than one sheet of a material, by raising its Sheets property.
  • Panels can make use of Multi-Materials. When using a multi-material, the panel will become multi-layer, using the thicknesses specified by the multi-material. Any layer with a thickness of zero will have its thickness defined automatically by the remaining space defined by the Panel's own Thickness value, after subtracting the other layers.

Properties

  • DatosLength: The length of the panel
  • DatosWidth: The width of the panel
  • DatosThickness: The thickness of the panel
  • DatosArea: The area of the panel (automatic)
  • DatosSheets: The number of sheets of material the panel is made of
  • DatosWave Length: The length of the wave for corrugated panels
  • DatosWave Height: The height of the wave for corrugated panels
  • DatosWave Type: The type of the wave for corrugated panels, curved or trapezoidal
  • DatosWave Direction: The orientation of the waves for corrugated panels

Scripting

The Panel tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:

makePanel ([obj],[length],[width],[thickness],[name])

Example:

import Arch,Draft
base = Draft.makeRectangle(500,200)
Arch.makePanel(base,thickness=36)

Tutorials

Limitations

  • There is currently no automatic system to produce 2D cutting sheets from panel objects, but such feature is in the plans and will be added in the future.
  • This tool is not available in FreeCAD versions prior to 0.15
