Description

This tool attempts at removing the inner cubic shape of an Arch Wall or Arch Structure, and adjusting its properties, making it totally parametric. This tool will only work if the underlying shape is cubic (exactly 6 faces, all corners have only right angles).

Usage

Select an Arch Wall or Arch Structure
Press the button or use Arch → Utilities → Remove Shape from the top menu.

Scripting

See also: Arch API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

This tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:

removeShape(objs, mark=True)

Takes a list of Arch objects (objs) built on a cubic shape, and removes the inner shape, keeping the length, width and height as properties of the Arch object.
- objs is a single object, Arch Wall or Arch Structure, or a list of them.
If mark is True, objects that cannot be processed by this function will become red.
