To Do

build123d To Do List

Direct API layer

• build custom Direct API layer with monkey-patched base class methods done
• Add position and rotation properties with setters to Shape done
• Hide all legacy Location changing methods they are too useful and will remain
• add colour property to Shape done added member of Color class
• add material property to Solid done added string
• refactor Plane to be based on gp_Pln done

Joints done

• add a new Joint class (?) with: done
  • Rigid. A rigid joint fixes two components to one another. ...
  • Revolute. A revolute joint has a single rotational degree of freedom, much like a hinge. ...
  • Slider. A slider joint has a single translational degree of freedom. ...
  • Cylindrical. ...
  • Pin Slot. ...
  • Planar. ...
  • Ball.
• add a list of joints to Shape done, added to Solid and Compound

Assembly

• try to follow the OCCT Assembly done uses Compound
• sub-class of Compound done Compound is the assembly and other Shapes are children
• use anytree (https://anytree.readthedocs.io/en/2.8.0/index.html) to implement the tree structure done
• the add() method looks to see if an instance of the object is already in the Assembly and if so creates a new HShape with a link to the original object to save on storage HShape isn't appropriate see make_instance below
• change (how?) cq-editor to accept AIS_ColoredShape or TDocStd_Document directly enable display of coloured objects
• add a new Assembly "solver" that converts joints into constraints then calls the existing solver
• add a new Shape.make_instance method that creates a copy of the Shape but replaces the TShape with a pointer to self's TShape. done although copy.copy() does this as a shallow copy.

Documentation

• get live 3d documentation going
• add new user documentation
• add cheatsheet done

Misc Features

• add logging
• add try blocks to intercept OpenCascade exceptions
• add BuildSurface
• verify that extrude linear works with non-planar faces True
• add a function/operator that creates "hull" points - i.e. points of interest when two or more objects are hulled together (2D only). These points are able to be used for line building
• add an extrude to face function that extrudes one face at a time (there seems to be a bug in OCCT with multiple simultaneous faces) - project then loft? Done
