MatrixTransform

Description
Applies linear transformation to a shape, defined by a 3x3 matrix. It is possible to: apply non-linear scaling to a shape, shear a shape, rotate a shape.
This macro is composed of 2 macro: MatrixTransform.FCMacro (launcher) and MatrixTransform.py (executor).
The .FCMacro is installed with AddonManager you must install the .py macro manually.
Link of th two macros:
MatrixTransform.FCMacro (launcher)

Description

Applies linear transformation to a shape, defined by a 3x3 matrix. It is possible to:

  • apply non-linear scaling to a shape
  • shear a shape
  • rotate a shape

The transformation in the macro is linear. Lines remain straight, planes remain planar, parallel things remain parallel, only angles are distorted.

Installation:

download these two files and save them in macro directory:

https://github.com/DeepSOIC/FreeCAD-Macros/raw/master/MatrixTransform/MatrixTransform.FCMacro

https://github.com/DeepSOIC/FreeCAD-Macros/raw/master/MatrixTransform/MatrixTransform.py

How to use:

  1. Select the shape to be transformed
  2. In FreeCAD menu: Macro -> Macros... -> double-click MatrixTransform.FCMacro . A new object will be created.
  3. Select the new object, and edit v1,v2,v3 properties on data tab to set the transformation matrix.

Matrix is defined by three vectors:

          v1x   v2x   v3x                  
   M = (  v1y   v2y   v3y )                  
          v1z   v2z   v3z                  

Here, v1,v2,v3 are vectors that can be defined in properties. They correspond to new directions of what was originally X,Y,Z axes.

example matrices

No transformation

   1  0  0
   0  1  0
   0  0  1

non-uniform scaling

   scaleX    0      0
      0   scaleY    0
      0      0   scaleZ

shearing

(operation that makes regular text into italic; assuming text is in XY plane)

   1  shear  0
   0    1    0
   0    0    1

'Shear' coefficient defines the amount of shearing. 0 is no shearing. 1 makes the text italic by 45 degrees. -1 shears in backslash-like fashion.


Warning. All geometry is converted to B-splines, even if it doesn't have to. This can cause all sorts of trouble. Use only if absolutely necessary.

Instruciotns:
Select the object to be sheared, then run the macro. A new object will be
created, with shear matrix filled in by default. Edit values of v1, v2, v3 to
change the behavior.

Warning. All geometry is converted to B-splines, even if it doesn't have to.
This can cause all sorts of trouble. Use only if absolutely necessary.
