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!

Reinforcement BarShapeCutList

Description

The Reinforcement BarShapeCutList tool allows the user to create the rebar shape cut list of reinforcing bars.

This tool is part of the Reinforcement Workbench, an external workbench that can be installed with the Addon Manager.

*Rebar Shape Cut List of reinforcing bars*

Usage

1. Select Arch Rebar and Rebar2 objects you want to include in Rebar Shape Cut List. Or select Arch Structure objects to include Arch Rebar and Rebar2 objects hosted by those into Rebar Shape Cut List. If nothing is selected, then Rebar Shape Cut List will be generated for all Arch Rebar and Rebar2 objects present in the model.

2. Then select Rebar Shape Cut List from the rebar tools.

3. A dialog box will pop-out on the screen as shown below.

:

Dialog Box for the Reinforcement Bar Shape Cut List tool

4. Modify data to suit your requirements.

5. Click OK or Apply to generate Rebar Shape Cut List for rebars.

6. Click Cancel to exit the dialog box.

Properties

General:

  • Stirrup Extended Edge Offset: The offset of extended end edges of the stirrup, so that end edges of the stirrup with a 90-degree bent angle do not overlap with stirrup edges.

  • Rebars Stroke Width: The stroke-width of rebars in the rebar shape cut list.

  • Rebars Color Style: The color style of rebars.

  • Side Padding: The padding on each side of the rebar shape.

  • Horizontal Rebar Shape: If True, then the rebar shape will be made horizontal by rotating the max length edge of the rebar shape.

  • Include Mark: If it is set to True, then rebar.Mark will be included for each rebar shape in the rebar shape cut list.

  • SVG Output File: The output file to write generated rebar shape cut list SVG.

Dimension Data:

  • Include Dimensions: If True, then each rebar edge dimensions and bent angle dimensions will be included in the rebar shape cut list.

  • Include Units in Dimension Label: If it is True, then rebar edge length units will be shown in dimension label.

  • Rebar Edge Dimension Units: The units to be used for rebar edge length dimensions.

  • Rebar Edge Dimension Precision: The number of decimals that should be shown for rebar edge length as a dimension label.

  • Dimension Font Family: The font-family of dimension text.

  • Dimension Font Size: The font-size of dimension text.

  • Bent Angle Dimension Exclude List: The list of bent angles to not include their dimensions.

  • Helical Rebar Dimension Label Format: The format of the helical rebar dimension label. e.g. \"%L,r=%R,pitch=%P\" where %L -> Length of helical rebar, %R -> Helix radius of helical rebar, %P -> Helix pitch of helical rebar.

Scripting

The Reinforcement BarShapeCutList tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:

) -> ElementTree.Element
  • Generates and returns a rebar shape SVG element for the given rebar object.

  • rebarobject can be of type \<ArchRebar._Rebar> or \<rebar2.BaseRebar>, to generate its shape svg.

  • view_directionspecifies the viewpoint direction for rebar shape. It can be of type FreeCAD.Vector or WorkingPlane.Plane though WorkingPlane.Plane is preferred.

  • include_markspecifies if rebar.Mark is to be included in rebar shape SVG or not.

  • stirrup_extended_edge_offsetis the offset of extended end edges of the stirrup, so that end edges of the stirrup with a 90-degree bent angle do not overlap with stirrup edges.

  • rebar_stroke_widthspecifies the stroke-width of rebar in svg.

  • rebar_color_stylespecifies the color style of rebar. It can be \"shape color\" or \"color_name or hex_value_of_color\". \"shape color\" means to select the color of the rebar shape.

  • include_dimensionsspecifies if each rebar edge dimensions and bent angle dimensions are to be included in rebar shape SVG.

  • rebar_dimension_unitsspecifies the units to be used for rebar length dimensions.

  • scalespecifies the scale value to scale rebar SVG. The scale parameter helps to scale down rebar_stroke_width and dimension_font_size to make them resolution-independent. If max_height or max_width is set to a non-zero value, then the scale parameter will be ignored.

  • max_heightspecifies the maximum height of rebar shape SVG. Set it to 0 to have rebar shape SVG height based on the scale parameter.

  • max_widthspecifies the maximum width of rebar shape SVG. Set it to 0 to have rebar shape SVG width based on the scale parameter.

  • side_paddingspecifies the padding on each side of the rebar shape.

  • horizontal_shapespecifies if the rebar shape is to be made horizontal by rotating the max length edge of the rebar shape.
