While Stripe doesn't support monthly donations, you can still become a sponsor! Simply make a one-time donation equivalent to 12 months of support, and you'll gain access to the corresponding sponsoring tier. It's an easy and flexible way to contribute.

If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

You can support FreeCAD by sponsoring it as an individual or organization through various platforms. Sponsorship provides a steady income for developers, allowing the FPA to plan ahead and enabling greater investment in FreeCAD. To encourage sponsorship, we offer different tiers, and unless you choose to remain anonymous, your name or company logo will be featured on our website accordingly.

from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.

from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.

from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.

from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

OpenSCAD AddOpenSCADElement

Description

Add an OpenSCAD element by entering OpenSCAD code into the task panel and executing the OpenSCAD binary (requires OpenSCAD)

When \'as mesh\' is selected, OpenSCAD renders a Mesh.

Each time Add is pressed the OpenSCAD code is executed and elements are imported.

If OpenSCAD returns successfully, its messages are displayed as warnings in the report window. This will be the case if the path to imported, included and used files is broken. In case of undesired results it is highly recommend to have a look at the report windows, as there might be a lot of other output, created by the importer. If OpenSCAD fails, its messages will be logged as errors.

Libraries should be accessible as usual, whereas example can be reached as stated below.

include <../examples/example001.scad>;

would include the first examples also known as the OpenSCAD icon.

Setup OpenSCAD within FreeCAD

Note: OpenSCAD needs to be installed on your computer before FreeCAD will have this functionality Install OpenSCAD in the appropriate manner for your operating system. See the OpenSCAD web site for more information.

FreeCAD needs to be told where to find the OpenSCAD executable:

  • Switch to the OpenSCAD Workbench via View → Workbench → OpenSCAD
  • Open the preferences dialog Edit → Preferences
  • Click on \"OpenSCAD\" on the left plane
  • Click on the button labled ... in General Settings → General OpenSCAD Settings → OpenSCAD executable to browse the directory or enter the path (e.g. Ubuntu based Linux distributions /usr/bin/openscad) directly into the line input right to the button
  • Close and restart FreeCAD

: Result: A new OpenSCAD icon will appear on the tool bar, and in the OpenSCAD menu, in the FreeCAD OpenSCAD workbench.

Note: It is also possible to add another optional Parameter which controls the maximum sides of a polygon before it is considered a circle (fn).

Starting from (v0.14) , FreeCAD will search for the OpenSCAD executable if the setting mentioned above is empty.
