Also You may expect new CNC report view with more columns. I guess this should be possible to make it detailed by adding color to the edge face. I need to look into that more deeply, how to convert the face color into correct dimensions column at report.įor sure You may expect some improvements around edgeband.

You can't do it by clicking the 3D model, but You can do it by clicking the object and choosing Color. However, Yestarday I saw You can set color to the face (edge surface). You can do it in python, add custom property to existing object, but there is no GUI for that at FreeCAD during designing furniture.Īlso You can't add custom text to the edge except 'constrain name'. In our time dimension, I mean FreeCAD, You can't add custom description (custom text) for object.

The columns 1,2,3,4 should have a number like 2 for the tickness of the edgeband used and also the type of edgeband used (PL55 PVC) if that edge needs to be edgebanded. However, However, However, returning from time travel to FreeCAD.

So, for me buying or using Autodesk is like invent time travel to eat breakfast Such simple furniture costs about 150pln (about $38). To create furniture I design it at FreeCAD, use my macro to create report with dimensions, go to the cutting service store, give the report to the person who cut chipboards, get the chipboards to the car, go home or garage, add veneer for each edge with turistic iron, drill holes, and screw all the pieces up together. However, I think if I would have professional woodworking service I would go to Autodesk Fusion 360 with JoinerCAD extension, becuase for me this looks good.īut my world looks a little different. A good source of inspiration would be the concepts presented in the JoinerCAD presentation videos:Īutodesk Fusion 360 with JoinerCAD extension is like another time dimension not accessible for FreeCAD right nowĪutodesk is huge software designed for such things for many years and it costs really a lot, personally I can't afford it.
