Description
Macro Force Recompute
This small macro forces a manual recompute of the model. Sometimes the user applies changes to the model in FreeCAD. But FreeCAD does not seem to recognize them. (Since FreeCAD v0.17, the effect of this macro can be achieved through GUI. Right-click project in model tree view, and pick "Mark to recompute" from context menu. After that, press Recompute button.) Macro version: 1.0 Last modified: 2014-09-01 FreeCAD version: All Download: ToolBar Icon Author: shoogen

Description

Sometimes when a user applies changes to the model, FreeCAD does not seem to recognize/integrate them. In addition to that, the blue Refresh/Recompute button remains greyed out. Hence this small macro was designed to force a manual recompute of the model.

Note: As of version 0.17 and above the effect of this macro can be achieved through the GUI. Right-click project in model tree view, and pick Mark to recompute from the context menu. After that, press the Refresh/Recompute button.

Usage

Just run the macro when needed.
