Description
The Profile tool builds a parametric 2D profile object. This object can then be used as a base in different other tools that perform extrusions, such as Arch Frame, Arch CurtainWall or Part Extrude.
See the list of available presets.
The profile tool is also integrated to the Arch Structure tool, all preset profiles are also available there.
Usage
- Press the Arch Profile button
- Select a preset in the tool task panel
- Click a point in the 3D view to place the profile
Properties
Data
- DataHeight: The overall height of the profile
- DataWidth: The overall width of the profile
- DataDiameter: The diameter of the profile (circular profiles only)
- DataThickness: The thickness of the tube wall (circular and rectangular hollow profiles only)
- DataWeb Thickness: The thickness of the profile web (H and I profiles only)
- DataFlange Thickness: The thickness of the profile flange (H and I profiles only)
Adding custom profiles
An additional CSV file can be created by the user, containing custom profile definitions. It must be named profiles.csv
, and placed in
$FREECAD_USER_DIR/Arch/
The $FREECAD_USER_DIR
can be obtained from the Python console:
FreeCAD.getUserAppDataDir()
The contents of your custom profiles.csv
file must be modeled upon the same rules as the profiles.csv in the source code.
The CSV file must contain one line per available profile, formatted as follows:
- For C profiles: Category, Name, Class, Diameter, Thickness
- For H, U and T profiles: Category, Name, Class, Width, Height, Web thickness, Flange thickness
- For L profiles: Category, Name, Class, Width, Height, Thickness
- For R profiles: Category, Name, Class, Width, Height
- For RH profiles: Category, Name, Class, Width, Height, Thickness
All measures must be in millimeters. Possible profile classes are:
- C: Circular tube
- H: H or I profile
- R: Rectangular
- RH: Rectangular hollow
- U: U profile
- L: L profile
- T: T profile
Additional profile types can be created, but a corresponding class must first be defined in ArchProfile.py.
Scripting
The Profile tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:
profile = makeProfile(profile_list)
Where profile_list contains the different elements of a list in the CSV file.
Example:
import Arch
Arch.makeProfile([0, 'REC', 'REC100x100', 'R', 100, 100])
Where the first element of the list is an order number that is not used yet.
- Elements: Wall, Structure, Curtain Wall, Window, Roof, Space, Stairs, Equipment, Frame, Fence, Truss, Profile, Pipe, Pipe Connector
- Reinforcements: Straight Rebar, U-Shape Rebar, L-Shape Rebar, Stirrup, Bent-Shape Rebar, Helical Rebar, Column Reinforcement, Beam Reinforcement, Slab Reinforcement, Footing Reinforcement, Custom Rebar
- Panels: Panel, Panel Cut, Panel Sheet, Nest
- Materials: Material, Multi-Material
- Organization: Building Part, Project, Site, Building, Level, External reference, Section Plane, Schedule
- Axes: Axis, Axes system, Grid
- Modification: Cut with plane, Add component, Remove component, Survey
- Utilities: Component, Clone component, Split Mesh, Mesh to Shape, Select non-manifold meshes, Remove Shape from Arch, Close Holes, Merge Walls, Check, Toggle IFC Brep flag, 3 Views from mesh, Create IFC spreadsheet, Toggle Subcomponents
- Additional: Preferences, Import Export Preferences (IFC, DAE, OBJ, JSON, 3DS, SHP), IfcOpenShell, IfcPlusPlus, Arch API
- Getting started
- Installation: Download, Windows, Linux, Mac, Additional components, Docker, AppImage, Ubuntu Snap
- Basics: About FreeCAD, Interface, Mouse navigation, Selection methods, Object name, Preferences, Workbenches, Document structure, Properties, Help FreeCAD, Donate
- Help: Tutorials, Video tutorials
- Workbenches: Std Base, Arch, Assembly, CAM, Draft, FEM, Inspection, Mesh, OpenSCAD, Part, PartDesign, Points, Reverse Engineering, Robot, Sketcher, Spreadsheet, Surface, TechDraw, Test Framework
- Hubs: User hub, Power users hub, Developer hub
