Engine 5v2 camshaft gear parametric copy
In the post Engine: 5 - camshaft gear I used simple Python script to generate a radial copy. Unfortunately copies were independent from base object. Today Ill show how use more advanced radial script.
In directory:
yourfreecadinstallation/Mod/PartDesign/Scriptsyou can find RadialCopy.py script.
Open earlier camshaft gear model. Delete Chamfer, Cut, Fusion and Fillet001 to Fillet036. Leave only he Revolution and the Fillet. Save model as a new file.
Import script by typing in the python console:
from PartDesign.Scripts import RadialCopy as rcopySelect the Fillet and make a radial copy:
rcopy.makeRadialCopy()and eventually refresh the document:
App.ActiveDocument.recompute() At the end change values in Property view-data tab: Radius 0, Angle 10.
Open the Part workbench and use the boolean difference to cut the Radial Copy from the Revolution.
Try change something, eg. first sketch.
After a while whole model will be regenerated. This is the difference between previous and actual script.
