RoadMap: Planned Features
|
||||
**************************
|
||||
|
||||
**CadQuery is not even close to finished!!!**
|
||||
|
||||
Many features are planned for later versions. This page tracks them. If you find that you need features
|
||||
not listed here, let us know!
|
||||
|
||||
Core
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
end(n)
|
||||
allows moving backwards a fixed number of parents in the chain, eg end(3) is same as end().end().end()
|
||||
|
||||
FreeCAD object wrappers
|
||||
return CQ wrappers for FreeCAD shapes instead of the native FreeCAD objects.
|
||||
|
||||
Improved iteration tools for plugin developers
|
||||
make it easier to iterate over points and wires for plugins
|
||||
|
||||
More parameter types (String? )
|
||||
|
||||
face.outerWire
|
||||
allow selecting the outerWire of a face, so that it can be used for reference geometry or offsets
|
||||
|
||||
Selectors
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Chained Selectors
|
||||
Space delimited selectors should be unioned to allow multiple selections. For example ">Z >X"
|
||||
|
||||
Ad-hoc axes
|
||||
for example, >(1,2,1) would select a face with normal in the 1,2,1 direction
|
||||
|
||||
logic inversion
|
||||
! or not to invert logic, such as "!(>Z)" to select faces _other_ than the most z facing
|
||||
|
||||
closest to point
|
||||
support faces, points, or edges closest to a provided point
|
||||
|
||||
tagged entities
|
||||
support tagging entities when they are created, so they can be selected later on using that tag.
|
||||
ideally, tags are propagated to features that are created from these features ( ie, an edge tagged with 'foo'
|
||||
that is later extruded into a face means that face would be tagged with 'foo' as well )
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Workplanes
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
rotated workplanes
|
||||
support creation of workplanes at an angle to another plane or face
|
||||
|
||||
workplane local rotations
|
||||
rotate the coordinate system of a workplane by an angle.
|
||||
|
||||
make a workplane from a wire
|
||||
useful to select outer wire and then operate from there, to allow offsets
|
||||
|
||||
2-d operations
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
offsets
|
||||
offset profiles, including circles, rects, and other profiles.
|
||||
|
||||
ellipses
|
||||
create elipses and portions of elipses
|
||||
|
||||
regular polygons
|
||||
several construction methods:
|
||||
* number of sides and side length
|
||||
* number of sides inscribed in circle
|
||||
* number of sides circumscribed by circle
|
||||
|
||||
arc construction using relative measures
|
||||
instead of forcing use of absolute workplane coordinates
|
||||
|
||||
tangent arcs
|
||||
after a line
|
||||
|
||||
centerpoint arcs
|
||||
including portions of arcs as well as with end points specified
|
||||
|
||||
trimming
|
||||
ability to use construction geometry to trim other entities
|
||||
|
||||
construction lines
|
||||
especially centerlines
|
||||
|
||||
2-d fillets
|
||||
for a rectangle, or for consecutive selected lines
|
||||
|
||||
2-d chamfers
|
||||
based on rectangles, polygons, polylines, or adjacent selected lines
|
||||
|
||||
mirror around centerline
|
||||
using centerline construction geometry
|
||||
|
||||
rectangular array
|
||||
automate creation of equally spread points
|
||||
|
||||
polar array
|
||||
create equally spaced copies of a feature around a circle
|
||||
perhaps based on a construction circle?
|
||||
|
||||
midpoint selection
|
||||
select midpoints of lines, arcs
|
||||
|
||||
face center
|
||||
explicit selection of face center
|
||||
|
||||
manipulate spline control points
|
||||
so that the shape of a spline can be more accurately controlled
|
||||
|
||||
feature snap
|
||||
project geometry in the rest of the part into the work plane, so that
|
||||
they can be selected and used as references for other features.
|
||||
|
||||
polyline edges
|
||||
allow polyline to be combined with other edges/curves
|
||||
|
||||
create text
|
||||
ideally, in various fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
3-d operations
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
rotation/transform that return a copy
|
||||
The current rotateAboutCenter and translate method modify the object, rather than returning a copy
|
||||
|
||||
primitive creation
|
||||
Need primitive creation for:
|
||||
* cone
|
||||
* sphere
|
||||
* cylinder
|
||||
* torus
|
||||
* wedge
|
||||
|
||||
extrude/cut up to surface
|
||||
allow a cut or extrude to terminate at another surface ,rather than either through all or a fixed distance
|
||||
|
||||
extrude along a path
|
||||
rather than just normal to the plane. This would include
|
||||
|
||||
loft
|
||||
create a feature between two or more wire sections
|
||||
|
||||
revolve
|
||||
revolve a wire around an axis to create a solid
|
||||
|
||||
STEP import
|
||||
allow embedding and importing step solids created in other tools, which
|
||||
can then be further manipulated parametrically
|
||||
|
||||
Dome
|
||||
very difficult to do otherwise
|
||||
|
||||
primitive boolean operations
|
||||
* intersect
|
||||
* union
|
||||
* subtract
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Algorithms
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Wire Discretization
|
||||
Sample wires at point interval to improve closet wire computations
|
||||
|
||||
