Einführung

Neben den Standard-Objekttypen wie Beschriftungen, Netze und Bauteilobjekte bietet FreeCAD auch die erstaunliche Möglichkeit, 100% mit Python geschriebene parametrische Objekte zu erstellen, die als Python-Objekt (App FeaturePython-Objekt) bezeichnet werden. Diese Objekte verhalten sich genau wie jedes andere FreeCAD-Objekt und werden beim Speichern/Laden von Dateien automatisch gespeichert und wiederhergestellt.

Eine Besonderheit muss beachtet werden: Aus Sicherheitsgründen enthalten FreeCAD Dateien niemals eingebetteten Code. Der Python Code, den du zum Erstellen von parametrischen Objekten schreibst, wird niemals innerhalb einer Datei gespeichert. Das bedeutet, dass, wenn du eine Datei, die ein solches Objekt enthält, auf einem anderen Rechner öffnest, wenn dieser Python Code auf diesem Rechner nicht verfügbar ist, das Objekt nicht vollständig neu erstellt wird. Wenn du solche Objekte an andere weitergibst, musst du auch dein Python Skript weitergeben, z. B. als Makro.

Hinweis: Es ist möglich, Python Code in eine FreeCAD Datei zu packen, indem man json mit einem App::PropertyPythonObject serialisiert, aber dieser Code kann nie direkt ausgeführt werden und hat daher für unseren Zweck hier wenig Nutzen.

Python-Objekte folgen der gleichen Regel wie alle FreeCAD Funktionen: Sie sind in App- und einen GUI-Teile getrennt. Der App-Teil, das Dokument-Objekt, definiert die Geometrie unseres Objekts, während sein GUI-Teil, das View-Provider-Objekt, definiert, wie das Objekt auf dem Bildschirm daegestellt wird. Das Ansichtsprovider-Objekt ist, wie jede andere FreeCAD-Funktion, nur verfügbar, wenn FreeCAD in seiner eigenen GUI ausgeführt wird. Es stehen mehrere Eigenschaften und Methoden zur Verfügung, um ein Objekt zu erstellen. Die Eigenschaften müssen zu einem der vordefinierten Eigenschaftstypen gehören, die FreeCAD anbietet und werden im Eigenschaften Ansichtsfenster angezeigt, damit sie vom Benutzer bearbeitet werden können. Auf diese Weise sind FeaturePython-Objekte wirklich und vollständig parametrisch. Du kannst Eigenschaften für das Objekt und sein Ansichtsobjekt getrennt definieren.

Grundlegendes Beispiel

Things to note

If your object relies on being recomputed as soon as it is created, you must do this manually in the __init__ function as it is not called automatically. This example does not require it because the onChanged method of the Box class has the same effect as the execute function, but the examples below rely on being recomputed before anything is displayed in the 3D view. In the examples, this is done manually with ActiveDocument.recompute() but in more complex scenarios you need to decide where to recompute either the whole document or the FeaturePython object.

This example produces a number of exception stack traces in the report view window. This is because the onChanged method of the Box class is called each time a property is added in __init__. When the first one is added, the Width and Height properties don't exist yet and so the attempt to access them fails.

Eine Erklärung zu __getstate__ und __setstate__, die durch dumps und loads ersetzt wurden, befindet sich im Forumsbeitrag obj.Proxy.Type is a dict, not a string.

obj.addProperty(...) returns obj, so that the value of the property can be set on the same line:

obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength", "Length", "Box", "Length of the box").Length = 1.0

Which is equivalent to:

obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength", "Length", "Box", "Length of the box")
obj.Length = 1.0

Andere komplexere Beispiele

Dieses Beispiel verwendet das Part-Modul, um ein Oktaeder zu erstellen und dann seine Coin-Darstellung mit pivy.

Das Erste ist das Documentobjekt selbst:

import FreeCAD, FreeCADGui, Part
import pivy
from pivy import coin

class Octahedron:
  def __init__(self, obj):
     "Add some custom properties to our box feature"
     obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength","Length","Octahedron","Length of the octahedron").Length=1.0
     obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength","Width","Octahedron","Width of the octahedron").Width=1.0
     obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength","Height","Octahedron", "Height of the octahedron").Height=1.0
     obj.addProperty("Part::PropertyPartShape","Shape","Octahedron", "Shape of the octahedron")
     obj.Proxy = self

  def execute(self, fp):
     # Define six vetices for the shape
     v1 = FreeCAD.Vector(0,0,0)
     v2 = FreeCAD.Vector(fp.Length,0,0)
     v3 = FreeCAD.Vector(0,fp.Width,0)
     v4 = FreeCAD.Vector(fp.Length,fp.Width,0)
     v5 = FreeCAD.Vector(fp.Length/2,fp.Width/2,fp.Height/2)
     v6 = FreeCAD.Vector(fp.Length/2,fp.Width/2,-fp.Height/2)

     # Make the wires/faces
     f1 = self.make_face(v1,v2,v5)
     f2 = self.make_face(v2,v4,v5)
     f3 = self.make_face(v4,v3,v5)
     f4 = self.make_face(v3,v1,v5)
     f5 = self.make_face(v2,v1,v6)
     f6 = self.make_face(v4,v2,v6)
     f7 = self.make_face(v3,v4,v6)
     f8 = self.make_face(v1,v3,v6)
     shell=Part.makeShell([f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6,f7,f8])
     solid=Part.makeSolid(shell)
     fp.Shape = solid

  # helper mehod to create the faces

Dann haben wir das View Provider Objekt, das für die Darstellung des Objekts in der 3D Szene verantwortlich ist:

Schließlich, sobald unser Objekt und sein Viewobjekt definiert sind, müssen wir sie nur noch aufrufen (Der Code der Octahedron Klasse und der Viewprovider Klasse könnte direkt in die FreeCAD Python Konsole kopiert werden):

FreeCAD.newDocument()
a=FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("App::FeaturePython","Octahedron")
Octahedron(a)
ViewProviderOctahedron(a.ViewObject)

Objekte auswählbar machen

Wenn du dein Objekt oder zumindest einen Teil davon durch Anklicken im Ansichtsfenster auswählbar machen möchtest, musst du seine Coin-Geometrie in einen SoFCSelection-Knoten aufnehmen. Wenn dein Objekt eine komplexe Darstellung hat, mit Widgets, Anmerkungen usw., möchtest du vielleicht nur einen Teil davon in eine SoFCSelection einschließen. Alles, was eine SoFCSelection ist, wird von FreeCAD ständig gescannt, um Auswahl/Vorwahl zu erkennen, daher ist es sinnvoll, es nicht mit unnötigem Scannen zu überlasten.

Once the parts of the scenegraph that are to be selectable are inside SoFCSelection nodes, you then need to provide two methods to handle the selection path. The selection path can take the form of a string giving the names of each element in the path, or of an array of scenegraph objects. The two methods you provide are getDetailPath, which converts from a string path to an array of scenegraph objects, and getElementPicked, which takes an element which has been clicked on in the scenegraph and returns its string name (note, not its string path).

Hier ist das obige Molekülbeispiel, angepasst, um die Elemente des Moleküls auswählbar zu machen:

class Molecule:
    def __init__(self, obj):
        ''' Add two point properties '''
        obj.addProperty("App::PropertyVector","p1","Line","Start point")

Working with simple shapes

Wenn ein parametrisches Objekt einfach nur eine Form ausgibt, muss man keinen View-Provider-Objekt verwenden. Die Form wird mit FreeCADs Standard-Form-Darstellung angezeigt.

Scenegraph Structure

Du hast vielleicht bemerkt, dass die obigen Beispiele deine Szenengraphen auf leicht unterschiedliche Weise aufbauen. Einige verwenden obj.addDisplayMode(node, "modename"), während andere obj.SwitchNode.getChild(x).addChild(y) verwenden.

Each feature in a FreeCAD document is based the following scenegraph structure:

RootNode
 \- SwitchNode
     \- Shaded
      - Wireframe
      - etc

The SwitchNode displays only one of its children, depending on which display mode is selection in FreeCAD.

The examples which use addDisplayMode are constructing their scenegraphs solely out of coin3d scenegraph elements. Under the covers, addDisplayMode adds a new child to the SwitchNode; the name of that node will match the display mode it was passed.

The examples which use SwitchNode.getChild(x).addChild also construct part of their geometry using functions from the Part workbench, such as fp.Shape = Part.makeLine(fp.p1,fp.p2). This constructs the different display mode scenegraphs under the SwitchNode; when we later come to add coin3d elements to the scenegraph, we need to add them to the existing display mode scenegraphs using addChild rather than creating a new child of the SwitchNode.

When using addDisplayMode() to add geometry to the scenegraph, each display mode should have its own node which is passed to addDisplayMode(); don't reuse the same node for this. Doing so will confuse the selection mechanism. It's okay if each display mode's node has the same geometry nodes added below it, just the root of each display mode needs to be distinct.

Here is the above molecule example, adapted to be drawn only with Coin3D scenegraph objects instead of using objects from the Part workbench:

Part Design scripted objects

When making scripted objects in Part Design the process is similar to the scripted objects discussed above, but with a few additional considerations. We must handle 2 shape properties, one for the shape we see in the 3D view and another for the shape used by the pattern tools, such as polar pattern features. The object shapes also needs to be fused to any existing material already in the Body (or cut from it in the case of Subtractive features). And we must account for the placement and attachment of our objects a little bit differently.

Part Design scripted solid object features should be based on either PartDesign::FeaturePython, PartDesign::FeatureAdditivePython, or PartDesign::FeatureSubtractivePython rather than Part::FeaturePython. Only the Additive and Subtractive variants can be used in pattern features, and if based on Part::FeaturePython when the user drops the object into a Part Design Body it becomes a BaseFeature rather than being treated by the Body as a native Part Design object. Note: all of these are expected to be solids, so if you are making a non-solid feature it should be based on Part::FeaturePython or else the next feature in the tree will attempt to fuse to as a solid and it will fail.

Here is a simple example of making a Tube primitive, similar to the Tube primitive in Part Workbench except this one will be a Part Design solid feature object. For this we will 2 separate files: pdtube.FCMacro and pdtube.py. The .FCMacro file will be executed by the user to create the object. The .py file will hold the class definitions, imported by the .FCMacro. The reason for doing it this way is to maintain the parametric nature of the object after restarting FreeCAD and opening a document containing one of our Tubes.

First, the class definition file:

Available object types

The list of all object types you can create with FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject() can be obtained with FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.supportedTypes(). Only object types with a name ending in Python can be used for scripted objects. These are listed here (for FreeCAD v0.21):

  • App::DocumentObjectGroupPython

Vorhandene Methoden

Siehe FeaturePython Methoden für eine vollständige Referenz.

Vorhandene Eigenschaften

Eigenschaften sind die wahren Bausteine von FeaturePython-Objekten. Durch sie kann man mit einem Objekt interagieren und es ändern. Nach dem Erstellen eines neuen FeaturePython-Objekts in einem Dokument, kann man eine Liste der vorhandenen Eigenschaften bekommen:

obj = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("App::FeaturePython", "Box")
obj.supportedProperties()

Siehe FunktionsPython benutzerdefinierte Eigenschaften für einen Überblick:

Beim Hinzufügen von Eigenschaften zu benutzerdefinierten Objekten bitte folgendes beachten:

  • Nicht die Zeichen < oder > in den Beschreibungen der Eigenschaften verwenden (das würde die XML-Teile in der .FCStd-Datei auseinanderbrechen)
  • Eigenschaften werden alphabetisch in einer .FCStd-Datei gespeichert. Befindet sich eine Form (shape) in den Eigenschaften, wird jede Eigenschaft, deren Name in alphabetischen Reihenfolge nach "Shape" kommt, auch NACH der Form geladen, was zu seltsamen Verhaltensweisen führen kann.

Die Eigenschaften sind in der C++ header-Datei PropertyStandard.h festgelegt.

Arten von Eigenschaften

Standardmäßig können Eigenschaften aktualisiert werden, aber es ist möglich, die Eigenschaften auf schreibgeschützt zu setzen, wenn man zum Beispiel das Ergebnis einer Methode anzeigen möchte. Es ist auch möglich, eine Eigenschaft auszublenden. Die Art der Eigenschaft kann festgelegt werden mit:

obj.setEditorMode("MyPropertyName", mode)

wobei mode ein kurzer int ist, der gesetzt werden kann auf:

0 -- Standardmodus, Lesen und Schreiben
1 -- Nur-Lesen
2 -- Versteckt

The mode can also be set using a list of strings, e.g. obj.setEditorMode("Placement", ["ReadOnly", "Hidden"]).

The EditorModes are not set at FreeCAD file reload. This could to be done by the loads function. See http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13460&start=10#p108072. By using the setEditorMode the properties are only read-only in the Property editor. They can still be changed from Python. To really make them read-only the setting has to be passed directly inside the addProperty function. See http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13460&start=20#p109709 for an example.

Using the direct setting in the addProperty function, you also have more possibilities. In particular, an interesting one is mark a property as an output property. This way FreeCAD won't mark the feature as touched when changing it (so no need to recompute).

Example of output property (see also https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=24928):

obj.addProperty("App::PropertyString", "MyCustomProperty", "", "", 8)

The property types that can be set at last parameter of the addProperty function are:

  0 -- Prop_None, No special property type
  1 -- Prop_ReadOnly, Property is read-only in the editor
  2 -- Prop_Transient, Property won't be saved to file
  4 -- Prop_Hidden, Property won't appear in the editor
  8 -- Prop_Output, Modified property doesn't touch its parent container
 16 -- Prop_NoRecompute, Modified property doesn't touch its container for recompute
 32 -- Prop_NoPersist, Property won't be saved to file at all

The property types are defined in the PropertyContainer C++ header file.
