Description
The Draft Downgrade tool downgrades the selected objects in different ways.
The Downgrade tool performs things such as breaking faces, and deconstructing wires into their individual edges. It can cut a shape with another shape in similar way to Part Cut.
The counterpart to this tool is the Draft Upgrade operation.
Face cut from another face; then face downgraded into a closed wire; then downgraded into individual lines
Usage
- Optionally select one or more objects.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Draft Downgrade button.
- Select the Modification → Downgrade option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: D then N.
- If you have not yet selected an object: select an object in the 3D view.
Scripting
See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
To downgrade objects use the downgrade
method of the Draft module.
downgrade_list = downgrade(objects, delete=False, force=None)
objects
contains the objects to be downgraded. It is either a single object or a list of objects.- If
delete
isTrue
the source objects are deleted. force
forces a certain way of downgrading by calling a specific internal function. It can be:"explode"
,"shapify"
,"subtr"
,"splitFaces"
,"cut2"
,"getWire"
,"splitWires"
or"splitCompounds"
.downgrade_list
is returned. It is a list containing two lists: a list of new objects and a list of objects to be deleted. Ifdelete
isTrue
the second list is empty.
Example:
import FreeCAD as App
import Draft
doc = App.newDocument()
circle = Draft.make_circle(1000)
rectangle = Draft.make_rectangle(2000, 800)
doc.recompute()
add_list1, delete_list1 = Draft.upgrade([circle, rectangle], delete=True)
compound = add_list1[0]
add_list2, delete_list2 = Draft.downgrade(compound, delete=False)
face = add_list2[0]
add_list3, delete_list3 = Draft.downgrade(face, delete=False)
box = doc.addObject("Part::Box", "Box")
box.Length = 2300
box.Width = 800
box.Height = 1000
add_list4, delete_list4 = Draft.downgrade(box, delete=True)
doc.recompute()
