Mesh to Part/es

Convertir Objetos parte en mallas

La conversión de objetos de alto nivel, tales como Part shapes en objetos más simples como meshes es una operación bastante sencilla, en la que todas las caras de un objeto Parte son triangularizadas. El resultado de esa triangulación (mosaico o teselado) se utiliza para construir una malla:

#let's assume our document contains one part object
import Mesh
faces = []
shape = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.Shape
triangles = shape.tessellate(1) # the number represents the precision of the tessellation)
for tri in triangles[1]:
    face = []
    for i in range(3):
        vindex = tri[i]
        face.append(triangles[0][vindex])
    faces.append(face)
m = Mesh.Mesh(faces)
Mesh.show(m)

En ocasiones, la triangulación ofrecida por OpenCascade para algunas caras es bastante fea. Si la cara tiene un espacio de parámetros rectangular y no contiene ningún agujero o curvas de corte también puede crear una malla por su cuenta:

import Mesh
def makeMeshFromFace(u,v,face):
	(a,b,c,d)=face.ParameterRange
	pts=[]
	for j in range(v):
		for i in range(u):
			s=1.0/(u-1)*(i*b+(u-1-i)*a)
			t=1.0/(v-1)*(j*d+(v-1-j)*c)
			pts.append(face.valueAt(s,t))

	mesh=Mesh.Mesh()
	for j in range(v-1):
		for i in range(u-1):
			mesh.addFacet(pts[u*j+i],pts[u*j+i+1],pts[u*(j+1)+i])
			mesh.addFacet(pts[u*(j+1)+i],pts[u*j+i+1],pts[u*(j+1)+i+1])

	return mesh

Converting Meshes to Part objects

Converting Meshes to Part objects is an extremely important operation in CAD work, because very often you receive 3D data in mesh format from other people or outputted from other applications. Meshes are very practical to represent free-form geometry and big visual scenes, as it is very lightweight, but for CAD we generally prefer higher-level objects that carry much more information, such as the idea of solid, or faces made of curves instead of triangles.

Converting meshes to those higher-level objects (handled by the Part Module in FreeCAD) is not an easy operation. Meshes can be made of thousands of triangles (for example when generated by a 3D scanner), and having solids made of the same number of faces would be extremely heavy to manipulate. So you generally want to optimize the object when converting.

FreeCAD currently offers two methods to convert Meshes to Part objects. The first method is a simple, direct conversion, without any optimization:

import Mesh,Part
mesh = Mesh.createTorus()
shape = Part.Shape()
shape.makeShapeFromMesh(mesh.Topology,0.05) # the second arg is the tolerance for sewing
solid = Part.makeSolid(shape)
Part.show(solid)

The second method offers the possibility to consider mesh facets coplanar when the angle between them is under a certain value. This allows to build much simpler shapes:

# let's assume our document contains one Mesh object
import Mesh,Part,MeshPart
faces = []
mesh = App.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.Mesh
segments = mesh.getPlanes(0.00001) # use rather strict tolerance here

for i in segments:
  if len(i) > 0:
     # a segment can have inner holes
     wires = MeshPart.wireFromSegment(mesh, i)
     # we assume that the exterior boundary is that one with the biggest bounding box
     if len(wires) > 0:
        ext=None
        max_length=0
        for i in wires:
           if i.BoundBox.DiagonalLength > max_length:
              max_length = i.BoundBox.DiagonalLength
              ext = i

        wires.remove(ext)
        # all interior wires mark a hole and must reverse their orientation, otherwise Part.Face fails
        for i in wires:
           i.reverse()

        # make sure that the exterior wires comes as first in the lsit
        wires.insert(0, ext)
        faces.append(Part.Face(wires))

shell=Part.Compound(faces)
Part.show(shell)
#solid = Part.Solid(Part.Shell(faces))
#Part.show(solid)
