Hi all, I'm experimenting with materials for Arch objects, and find myself in a bit of a dilemma. Currently each Arch object has a "Material" property which can hold a material (dictionnary). This is cool because very flexible, and the material info is packed into the object. But of course there is the mainproblem that the info is duplicated (each object holds a copy of a material), and you cannot guarantee that two different objects, each with a material named "steel" use exactly the same values (both steel materials can be different). The alternative used for ex. by the FEM workbench is to create a separate material object, and have each Arch object link to it. But I don't like that much either because an Arch model can have a lot of materials and soon your tree will be cluttered with materials... Of course we could always store them in a folder... Anybody has a better idea? Thanks I didn't find the right solution from the internet. References: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=10503 Business Software Video |
