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!

Description

The Curves ParametricComb tool can help to visualize the regularity or smoothness of a curve as well as the continuity between two curves.

Note: A comb is only for visualization.

A 3D comb will be created for 3D curves. Sample and scale can be changed.

Above: a curve before (left) and after (right) the application of this tool

Usage

  1. Select one or more shapes (sketch, wire, face, etc.).
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Comb plot button.
    • Select the Curves → Comb plot option from the menu.
  3. A Comb object is created, showing the curvature of the select shapes (sketches, wires), or their sub elements (borders and iso-curves in case of faces).
  4. Optionally edit the values in the Property editor (see Properties below):
    • Adjust the number of samples and the comb scale for all comb plots.
    • Adjust the number of comb plots and their orientation for surface objects.

Notes

  • This tool functions as a visual aid.
  • This tool accepts several types of curves, and surface elements, and creates additional iso-curves in U and V direction for the latter.

Properties

See also: Property editor.

A Comb object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

Comb

  • DataComb Points (VectorList): Comb Points.
  • DataEdge (LinkSubList): List of input shapes.
  • DataSamples (IntegerConstraint): Number of samples per comb plot.
  • DataScale (Float): Scale (%). 0 for AutoScale.
  • DataShape (PartShape): Shape of comb plot.

Surface

  • DataNumber (Integer): Number of surface samples (comb plots) in U and/or V direction.
  • DataOrientation (Enumeration): Surface Comb Orientation to distribute the surface samples (comb plots).
    • U (default): Displays comb plots along U direction only.
    • V: Displays comb plots along V direction only.
    • UV: Displays comb plots along both directions.
