Please Note: The below work is present in develop branch of Reinforcement workbench here
The Reinforcement Dimensioning tool allows the user to create dimensioning for reinforcing bars in Reinforcement Drawing.
This command is part of the Reinforcement Addon, an external workbench that can be installed with the Addon Manager via the Tools → Addon manager → Reinforcement menu.
Drawing and dimensioning of reinforcing bars
1. Open FreeCAD Model containing reinforcement bars created using Reinforcement Addon.
2. In FreeCAD Python console, copy below code snippet to generate reinforcement drawing and dimensioning from different views for each Arch Structure element.
from ReinforcementDrawing.make_reinforcement_drawing import (
makeStructuresReinforcementDrawing,
)
for view in ("Front", "Rear", "Left", "Right", "Top", "Bottom"):
struct_drawing_page_dict = makeStructuresReinforcementDrawing(
view=view, perform_dimensioning=True
)
for drawing_page in struct_drawing_page_dict.values():
drawing_view = drawing_page.Views[0]
drawing_view.setExpression(
"LeftOffset",
u".Template.Width.Value / 2 - .Width.Value * .Scale / 2",
)
drawing_view.setExpression(
"TopOffset",
u".Template.Height.Value / 2 - .Height.Value * .Scale / 2",
)
drawing_view.recompute(True)
drawing_page.recompute(True)
