Introduction
This page contains examples, pieces, chunks of FreeCAD python code collected from users experiences and discussions on the forums. Read and use it as a start for your own scripts...
A typical InitGui.py file
Every module must contain, besides your main module file, an InitGui.py file, responsible for inserting the module in the main Gui. This is an example of a simple one.
class ScriptWorkbench (Workbench):
MenuText = "Scripts"
def Initialize(self):
import Scripts # assuming Scripts.py is your module
list = ["Script_Cmd"] # That list must contain command names, that can be defined in Scripts.py
self.appendToolbar("My Scripts",list)
Gui.addWorkbench(ScriptWorkbench())
A typical module file
This is an example of a main module file, containing everything your module does. It is the Scripts.py file invoked by the previous example. You can have all your custom commands here.
import FreeCAD, FreeCADGui
class ScriptCmd:
def Activated(self):
# Here your write what your ScriptCmd does...
FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage('Hello, World!')
def GetResources(self):
return {'Pixmap' : 'path_to_an_icon/myicon.png', 'MenuText': 'Short text', 'ToolTip': 'More detailed text'}
FreeCADGui.addCommand('Script_Cmd', ScriptCmd())
Import a new filetype
Making an importer for a new filetype in FreeCAD is easy. FreeCAD doesn't consider that you import data in an opened document, but rather that you simply can directly open the new filetype. So what you need to do is to add the new file extension to FreeCAD's list of known extensions, and write the code that will read the file and create the FreeCAD objects you want:
This line must be added to the InitGui.py file to add the new file extension to the list:
# Assumes Import_Ext.py is the file that has the code for opening and reading .ext files
FreeCAD.addImportType("Your new File Type (*.ext)","Import_Ext")
Then in the Import_Ext.py file:
def open(filename):
doc=App.newDocument()
# here you do all what is needed with filename, read, classify data, create corresponding FreeCAD objects
doc.recompute()
To export your document to some new filetype works the same way, except that you use:
FreeCAD.addExportType("Your new File Type (*.ext)","Export_Ext")
Adding a line
A line simply has 2 points.
import Part,PartGui
doc=App.activeDocument()
# add a line element to the document and set its points
l=Part.LineSegment()
l.StartPoint=(0.0,0.0,0.0)
l.EndPoint=(1.0,1.0,1.0)
doc.addObject("Part::Feature","Line").Shape=l.toShape()
doc.recompute()
Adding a polygon
A polygon is simply a set of connected line segments (a polyline in AutoCAD). It doesn't need to be closed.
import Part, PartGui
doc = App.activeDocument()
n = list()
# create a 3D vector, set its coordinates and add it to the list
v = App.Vector(0,0,0)
n.append(v)
v = App.Vector(10,0,0)
n.append(v)
#... repeat for all nodes
# Create a polygon object and set its nodes
p = doc.addObject("Part::Polygon","Polygon")
p.Nodes = n
doc.recompute()
Adding and removing an object to a group
doc=App.activeDocument()
grp=doc.addObject("App::DocumentObjectGroup", "Group")
lin=doc.addObject("Part::Feature", "Line")
grp.addObject(lin) # adds the lin object to the group grp
grp.removeObject(lin) # removes the lin object from the group grp
Note: You can even add other groups to a group...
Adding a Mesh
import Mesh
doc=App.activeDocument()
# create a new empty mesh
m = Mesh.Mesh()
# build up box out of 12 facets
m.addFacet(0.0,0.0,0.0, 0.0,0.0,1.0, 0.0,1.0,1.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,0.0,0.0, 0.0,1.0,1.0, 0.0,1.0,0.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,0.0,0.0, 1.0,0.0,0.0, 1.0,0.0,1.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,0.0,0.0, 1.0,0.0,1.0, 0.0,0.0,1.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,0.0,0.0, 0.0,1.0,0.0, 1.0,1.0,0.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,0.0,0.0, 1.0,1.0,0.0, 1.0,0.0,0.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,1.0,0.0, 0.0,1.0,1.0, 1.0,1.0,1.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,1.0,0.0, 1.0,1.0,1.0, 1.0,1.0,0.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,1.0,1.0, 0.0,0.0,1.0, 1.0,0.0,1.0)
m.addFacet(0.0,1.0,1.0, 1.0,0.0,1.0, 1.0,1.0,1.0)
m.addFacet(1.0,1.0,0.0, 1.0,1.0,1.0, 1.0,0.0,1.0)
m.addFacet(1.0,1.0,0.0, 1.0,0.0,1.0, 1.0,0.0,0.0)
# scale to a edge langth of 100
m.scale(100.0)
# add the mesh to the active document
me=doc.addObject("Mesh::Feature","Cube")
me.Mesh=m
Adding an arc or a circle
import Part
doc = App.activeDocument()
c = Part.Circle()
c.Radius=10.0
f = doc.addObject("Part::Feature", "Circle") # create a document with a circle feature
f.Shape = c.toShape() # Assign the circle shape to the shape property
doc.recompute()
Accessing and changing representation of an object
Each object in a FreeCAD document has an associated view representation object that stores all the parameters that define how that object appears: i.e. color, linewidth, etc... See also List the components of an object snippet below
gad = Gui.activeDocument() # access the active document containing all
# view representations of the features in the
# corresponding App document
v = gad.getObject("Cube") # access the view representation to the Mesh feature 'Cube'
v.ShapeColor # prints the color to the console
v.ShapeColor=(1.0,1.0,1.0) # sets the shape color to white
Observing mouse events in the 3D viewer via Python
The Inventor framework allows to add one or more callback nodes to the scenegraph of the viewer. By default in FreeCAD one callback node is installed per viewer which allows to add global or static C++ functions. In the appropriate Python binding some methods are provided to make use of this technique from within Python code.
App.newDocument()
v=Gui.activeDocument().activeView()
#This class logs any mouse button events. As the registered callback function fires twice for 'down' and
#'up' events we need a boolean flag to handle this.
class ViewObserver:
def logPosition(self, info):
down = (info["State"] == "DOWN")
pos = info["Position"]
if (down):
FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage("Clicked on position: ("+str(pos[0])+", "+str(pos[1])+")\n")
o = ViewObserver()
c = v.addEventCallback("SoMouseButtonEvent",o.logPosition)
Now, pick somewhere on the area in the 3D viewer and observe the messages in the output window. To finish the observation just call
v.removeEventCallback("SoMouseButtonEvent",c)
The following event types are supported
- SoEvent -- all kind of events
- SoButtonEvent -- all mouse button and key events
- SoLocation2Event -- 2D movement events (normally mouse movements)
- SoMotion3Event -- 3D movement events (normally spaceball)
- SoKeyboardEvent -- key down and up events
- SoMouseButtonEvent -- mouse button down and up events
- SoSpaceballButtonEvent -- spaceball button down and up events
The Python function that can be registered with addEventCallback() expects a dictionary. Depending on the watched event the dictionary can contain different keys.
For all events it has the keys:
- Type -- the name of the event type i.e. SoMouseEvent, SoLocation2Event, ...
- Time -- the current time as string
- Position -- a tuple of two integers, mouse position
- ShiftDown -- a boolean, true if Shift was pressed otherwise false
- CtrlDown -- a boolean, true if Ctrl was pressed otherwise false
- AltDown -- a boolean, true if Alt was pressed otherwise false
For all button events, i.e. keyboard, mouse or spaceball events
- State -- A string 'UP' if the button was up, 'DOWN' if it was down or 'UNKNOWN' for all other cases
For keyboard events:
- Key -- a character of the pressed key
For mouse button event
- Button -- The pressed button, could be BUTTON1, ..., BUTTON5 or ANY
For spaceball events:
- Button -- The pressed button, could be BUTTON1, ..., BUTTON7 or ANY
And finally motion events:
- Translation -- a tuple of three floats
- Rotation -- a quaternion for the rotation, i.e. a tuple of four floats
Display keys pressed and Events command
This macro displays in the report view the keys pressed and all events command
App.newDocument()
v=Gui.activeDocument().activeView()
class ViewObserver:
def logPosition(self, info):
try:
down = (info["Key"])
FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage(str(down)+"\n") # here the character pressed
FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage(str(info)+"\n") # list all events command
FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage("_______________________________________"+"\n")
except Exception:
None
o = ViewObserver()
c = v.addEventCallback("SoEvent",o.logPosition)
#v.removeEventCallback("SoEvent",c) # remove ViewObserver
Manipulate the scenegraph in Python
It is also possible to get and change the scenegraph in Python, with the 'pivy' module -- a Python binding for Coin.
from pivy.coin import * # load the pivy module
view = Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView # get the active viewer
root = view.getSceneGraph() # the root is an SoSeparator node
root.addChild(SoCube())
view.fitAll()
The Python API of pivy is created by using the tool SWIG. As we use in FreeCAD some self-written nodes you cannot create them directly in Python. However, it is possible to create a node by its internal name. An instance of the type 'SoFCSelection' can be created with
type = SoType.fromName("SoFCSelection")
node = type.createInstance()
Adding and removing objects to/from the scenegraph
Adding new nodes to the scenegraph can be done this way. Take care of always adding a SoSeparator to contain the geometry, coordinates and material info of a same object. The following example adds a red line from (0,0,0) to (10,0,0):
from pivy import coin
sg = Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getSceneGraph()
co = coin.SoCoordinate3()
pts = [[0,0,0],[10,0,0]]
co.point.setValues(0,len(pts),pts)
ma = coin.SoBaseColor()
ma.rgb = (1,0,0)
li = coin.SoLineSet()
li.numVertices.setValue(2)
no = coin.SoSeparator()
no.addChild(co)
no.addChild(ma)
no.addChild(li)
sg.addChild(no)
To remove it, simply issue:
sg.removeChild(no)
Saves the sceneGraph with a rotation in a series of 36 files in the X Y Z axis

Adding custom widgets to the interface
You can create custom widgets with Qt designer, transform them into a python script, and then load them into the FreeCAD interface with PySide.
The python code produced by the Ui python compiler (the tool that converts qt-designer .ui files into python code) generally looks like this (it is simple, you can also code it directly in python):
class myWidget_Ui(object):
def setupUi(self, myWidget):
myWidget.setObjectName("my Nice New Widget")
myWidget.resize(QtCore.QSize(QtCore.QRect(0,0,300,100).size()).expandedTo(myWidget.minimumSizeHint())) # sets size of the widget
self.label = QtGui.QLabel(myWidget) # creates a label
self.label.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(50,50,200,24)) # sets its size
self.label.setObjectName("label") # sets its name, so it can be found by name
def retranslateUi(self, draftToolbar): # built-in QT function that manages translations of widgets
myWidget.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("myWidget", "My Widget", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
self.label.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("myWidget", "Welcome to my new widget!", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
Then, all you need to do is to create a reference to the FreeCAD Qt window, insert a custom widget into it, and "transform" this widget into yours with the Ui code we just made:
app = QtGui.qApp
FCmw = app.activeWindow() # the active qt window, = the freecad window since we are inside it
# FCmw = FreeCADGui.getMainWindow() # use this line if the 'addDockWidget' error is declared
myNewFreeCADWidget = QtGui.QDockWidget() # create a new dckwidget
myNewFreeCADWidget.ui = myWidget_Ui() # load the Ui script
myNewFreeCADWidget.ui.setupUi(myNewFreeCADWidget) # setup the ui
FCmw.addDockWidget(QtCore.Qt.RightDockWidgetArea,myNewFreeCADWidget) # add the widget to the main window
Adding a Tab to the Combo View
The following code allows you to add a tab to the Combo view, separate from the preexisting "Model" and "Tasks" tabs. It also uses the uic
module to load an UI file directly in that tab.
# create new Tab in ComboView
from PySide import QtGui,QtCore
#from PySide import uic
def getMainWindow():
"returns the main window"
# using QtGui.qApp.activeWindow() isn't very reliable because if another
# widget than the mainwindow is active (e.g. a dialog) the wrong widget is
# returned
toplevel = QtGui.qApp.topLevelWidgets()
for i in toplevel:
if i.metaObject().className() == "Gui::MainWindow":
return i
raise Exception("No main window found")
def getComboView(mw):
dw=mw.findChildren(QtGui.QDockWidget)
for i in dw:
if str(i.objectName()) == "Combo View":
return i.findChild(QtGui.QTabWidget)
elif str(i.objectName()) == "Python Console":
return i.findChild(QtGui.QTabWidget)
raise Exception ("No tab widget found")
mw = getMainWindow()
tab = getComboView(getMainWindow())
tab2=QtGui.QDialog()
tab.addTab(tab2,"A Special Tab")
#uic.loadUi("/myTaskPanelforTabs.ui",tab2)
tab2.show()
#tab.removeTab(2)
Enable or disable a window
This script give the ability to manipulate the UI from the Python console to show/hide different components in the FreeCAD interface such as:
- Report view
- Tree view
- Property view
- Selection view
- Combo View
- Python console
- draftToolbar
from PySide import QtGui
mw = FreeCADGui.getMainWindow()
dws = mw.findChildren(QtGui.QDockWidget)
# objectName may be :
# "Report view"
# "Tree view"
# "Property view"
# "Selection view"
# "Combo View"
# "Python console"
# "draftToolbar"
for i in dws:
if i.objectName() == "Report view":
dw = i
break
va = dw.toggleViewAction()
va.setChecked(True) # True or False
dw.setVisible(True) # True or False

PS: Usually the angles are given in Radian to convert :
- angle in Degrees to Radians :
- Angle in radian = pi * (angle in degree) / 180
- Angle in radian = math.radians(angle in degree)
- angle in Radians to Degrees :
- Angle in degree = 180 * (angle in radian) / pi
- Angle in degree = math.degrees(angle in radian)

Get the normal vector of a surface from a STL file
def getNormal(cb):
if cb.getEvent().getState() == coin.SoButtonEvent.UP:
pp = cb.getPickedPoint()
if pp:
vec = pp.getNormal().getValue()
index = coin.cast(pp.getDetail(), "SoFaceDetail").getFaceIndex()
print ("Normal: {}, Face index: {}".format(str(vec), index))
from pivy import coin
meth=Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.addEventCallbackPivy(coin.SoMouseButtonEvent.getClassTypeId(), getNormal)
you are done then run for quit:
Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.removeEventCallbackPivy(coin.SoMouseButtonEvent.getClassTypeId(), meth)
Create a Sketch on a Surface in PartDesign
This snippet can be useful, if you want to create a sketch on a surface in PartDesign from inside a macro. Note, that body might be None, if no active body is selected and that the Selection might be empty.
body = Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getActiveObject('pdbody')
first_selection = Gui.Selection.getSelectionEx()[0]
feature = first_selection.Object
face_name = first_selection.SubElementNames[0]
sketch = App.ActiveDocument.addObject('Sketcher::SketchObject','MySketch')
body.addObject(sketch)
sketch.MapMode = 'FlatFace'
sketch.Support = (feature, face_name)
App.ActiveDocument.recompute()
How to Simulate a Mouse Click at a given Coordinate
The position is relative to the GL widget. See forum thread.
from PySide2 import QtCore
from PySide2 import QtGui
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
mw = Gui.getMainWindow()
gl = mw.findChild(QtWidgets.QOpenGLWidget)
me = QtGui.QMouseEvent(QtCore.QEvent.MouseButtonRelease, QtCore.QPoint(800,300), QtCore.Qt.LeftButton, QtCore.Qt.LeftButton, QtCore.Qt.NoModifier)
app = QtWidgets.QApplication.instance()
app.sendEvent(gl, me)
