Re: How to iron out wrinkles and fill in concavities in lofts?
It will take some work to fix it, but big picture: your loft is only as good as the underlying curves.
Re: Custom Feature: Heat Set Insert (Threaded inserts for 3D Printed Parts)
Great script, I would suggest you change your merge scope filter to mirror the one used for the hole feature:
annotation { "Name" : "Merge Scope", "Filter" : (EntityType.BODY && BodyType.SOLID && ModifiableEntityOnly.YES && AllowMeshGeometry.YES) }
definition.mergeScope is Query;
That way we can merge with meshes, great for putting heat set inserts on laser scanned parts for mounting.
Re: Sketch Pattern Feature Script
There is this script that does the simpler version of that geometry. It does it in 3d coordinate space instead of the 2 dimensional flat domain though and you'll probably want to lean on qCorrespondingInFlat to make things easier to navigate. I have a custom tab and slot tool I had @Caden_Armstrong cook up that does some 3d to 2d sketch patterning magic to make tab and slot geometry work on bent / rolled faces which I'm in the middle of a rewrite of to handle more specialized cases than we originally planned for.
In short: very doable.
Sketch Pattern Feature Script
I recently used SendCutSends recommended cut pattern to make hand bending of sheet metal possible. I really love the results. The only downside is that the sketch took a fair bit of work to layout and update. I was wondering how hard it would be to create a custom feature script to set the necessary parameters and create the sketch entities. You can read more on the ScS website here.
Re: Any efficient ways to make a cutlist from a cabinet drawing?
.
@chadstoltzfus Cutlist+ is for frames. Measure Cut List is for generic use with things like cabinets. I should probably merge them into one feature. Measure Cut List will also name the parts so that you can have them show up in the bom list with sizes, or you can keep them in the part studio and use the custom table it produces to view the cut list.
