FreeCAD Trails Workbench (Transportation and Geomatics)

Hakan Seven is a Geomatics Engineer and Joel_graff is a Transportation Engineer. We decide to create a workbench for our own needs. So this workbench is being developed to provide functionality specific to Transportation and Geomatics engineering.

Features

  • GIS Tools
  • Import Survey Data Files
  • Export Point Groups to File
  • Create Surface
  • Edit Surface
  • Create Regions
  • Create Sections
  • Calculate Volume Areas
  • Create Volume Tables
  • Create Building Pads

Usage & Screenshots

Installation

Easy

Go to releases: https://github.com/joelgraff/freecad.trails/releases

Download and extract the ZIP file into the .FreeCAD/Mod folder.

Note: This releases are not up to date. So maybe you can't find the newly added features.

Hard

FreeCAD-Trails depends on the [pivy_trackers 2D geometry library] https://github.com/joelgraff/pivy_trackers and my own [FreeCAD_python_support] https://github.com/joelgraff/freecad_python_support repo to run. Pivy_trackers provides low-level 2D rendering support through Python for FreeCAD. FreeCAD_python_support is a collection of python support functions. Both are included in the FreeCAD Trails project as submodules.

In order to clone the repo with the complete supporting submodules, invoke git from the /Mod folder at the commandline as follows:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/joelgraff/freecad.trails.git

FYI, this thread was born of a parent thread: Civil Engineering Design functions
