Arch Add

Description
The Add tool allows you to do 4 kinds of operations:
 * Add shape-based objects to an Arch component, such as a wall or structure. These objects make then part of the Arch component, and allow you to modify its shape but keeping its base properties such as width and height
 * Add Arch components, such as a walls or structures, to a group-based arch object such as floors.
 * Add axis systems to structural objects
 * Add objects to section planes



In the above image, a box is being added to a wall.

How to use

 * 1) Select the object(s) to be added, then the "host" object (the host object must be the last one you selected)
 * 2) Press the  button

Scripting
The Add tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:

addComponents (objectsList,hostObject): adds the given object or the objects from the given list as components to the given host Object. Use this for example to add windows to a wall, or to add walls to a floor.

Example:

import FreeCAD, Arch, Draft, Part line = Draft.makeWire([FreeCAD.Vector(0,0,0),FreeCAD.Vector(2,2,0)]) wall = Arch.makeWall(line) box = Part.makeBox(1,1,1) Arch.addComponents(box,wall)
