Description

The Add tool allows you to do 4 kinds of operations:

In the above image, a box is being added to a wall.

How to use

  1. Select the object(s) to be added, then the "host" object (the host object must be the last one you selected)
  2. Press the Add button

Scripting

The Add tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:

python
addComponents (objectsList,hostObject)
  • Adds the given object or the objects from the given list as components to the given host Object. Use this for example to add windows to a wall, or to add walls to a floor.
  • Returns nothing.

Example:

python
import FreeCAD, Arch, Draft, Part
line = Draft.makeWire([FreeCAD.Vector(0,0,0),FreeCAD.Vector(2,2,0)])
wall = Arch.makeWall(line)
box = Part.makeBox(1,1,1)
Arch.addComponents(box,wall)
