FreeCAD - Stickframe Workbench Update

[@cheesedoff-with4410]

Good stuff. You're finding problems and fixing them. Sounds like progress to me. Thank you for making the workbench and taking the time to make an update video.

[@mathcodeprint]

You are welcome :) :) :)

Ciesze sie że powstaje środowisko pracy dla konstrukcji szkieletowych. Mam nadzieje że będziesz je rozwijał. Dla mnie będzie bardzo pomocne. I am glad that the working environment for frame structures is being created. I hope you will develop them. It will be of great help to me.

Nice progress. I'll have something to play with during my vacation :)

I’m just getting into freecad but I’ve programmed for 10 years and it’s funny how development is like a bowl of spaghetti…pull one noodle and it changes things all throughout the bowl. Anyway, this bench looks very practical! Thanks for your videos.

V.interesting input! Looking forward for next dev., maybe possible to adjust for metric workflow??

[@mathcodeprint]

Absolutely, I will have to learn that workflow first tho :)

[@paulgill4524]

Absolutely brilliant so far. Great work. Is there a way to change the timber size. The Lumber dimension doesn't appear to be editable. Something you might consider for later development is a stud wall with different height at each end, i.e. sloping top plate.

[@mathcodeprint]

That's a great idea. The lumber dimensions are a work in progress. I would like it to be a global setting where you can swap 2x4 walls for 2x6 walls. Each individual piece is editable in length. I was planning on presets for width and height.

Hi I have just downloaded FreeCad and I am just trying to get my head around it. I have subscribed to your channel and have been looking at a couple of your videos on framing from a few years ago. Have you done any basic stuff for beginners on Architectural stuff like the framing as I have found what you have done is hard for me to understand for me being a beginner. Hope you can help. Cheers Regards from Australia Kim.

Why can't I installed it from addon manager?

[@saifujiwara3941]

Great, can we expand not only to stick but also the beam and iya connection?

[@mathcodeprint]

Eventually, yes I want to get the basic functionality ironed out then I would love to add Beams. Basically when I can take a floor plan and click through in about an hour or two and have a house model. Then I will start adding beams. Then little bits that I missed like Joist cross members and stuff.

@@mathcodeprint great, i would like to learn how to code it too, however i don't from where to start, could you please advise me?

[@mathcodeprint]

Sure, do you have any coding experience or just getting started?

[@saifujiwara3941]

@@mathcodeprint i have coding experience but it was long time ago using fortran 77 or qbasic

[@mathcodeprint]

That will be a pretty big leap. You will have to start with just Python. There is quite a bit more to it than what you will have done with qbasic or fortran. When you get used to the concepts in Python then add FreeCAD to the mix, dont try to learn Python and FreeCAD at the same time, to many layers.
