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 TechDraw ProjectShape tool creates projections of shapes. The projections are created in the 3D View, and not on a TechDraw Page.

Usage

  1. Optionally rotate the 3D View. The objects will be projected onto a plane parallel to the screen i.e. along the 3D View's camera direction, which is used as the default DataDirection property.
  2. Select one or more objects. For each object a separate projection will be created.
  3. Select the TechDraw → TechDraw Views → Project Shape option from the menu.
  4. The Project Shapes task panel opens. See Properties.
  5. Set the desired options.
  6. The selected options should not result in an empty projection as this will cause an error. For example, for an object with only sharp edges such as a Part Box, the Visible sharp edges and/or Hidden sharp edges option must be checked.
  7. Press the OK button.
  8. The projection is placed on the XY-plane.
  9. Optionally change the DataPlacement property and/or DataDirection property of the projection.

Properties

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

Data

Projection

  • DataSource (Link): The shape to project.
  • DataDirection (Vector): The direction of the projection. This is the normal vector of the projection plane.
  • DataVCompound (Bool): If true, visible sharp edges are shown. Example: all edges of a Part Box.
  • DataRg1 Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible smooth edges are shown. Example: the edges between a fillet and its adjoining faces.
  • DataRg NLine VCompound (Bool): If true, visible sewn edges are shown. Example: the seam of a 360° cylindrical face.
  • DataOut Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible outline edges (that are not sharp) are shown. Example: the side view of a Part Cylinder has two such edges.
  • DataIso Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible isoparameters are shown. Does not work currently.
  • DataHCompound (Bool): If true, hidden sharp edges are shown.
  • DataRg1 Line HCompound (Bool): If true, hidden smooth edges are shown
  • DataRg NLine HCompound (Bool): If true, hidden sewn edges are shown.
  • DataOut Line HCompound (Bool): If true, hidden outline edges are shown.
  • DataIso Line HCompound (Bool): If true, hidden isoparameters are shown. Does not work currently.
