FreeCAD vector math library/it

Questo è un file python che contiene un paio di funzioni utili per manipolare i vettori di FreeCAD. Per usarle, basta incollare il seguente codice in un file di python, e importare il file nel vostro script python. Questa libreria è inclusa nel Modulo Draft e vi si può accedere tramite l'interprete python in questo modo: from draftlibs import DraftVecUtils I vettori sono i mattoni costitutivi di quasi tutte le operazioni geometriche 3D, quindi è utile conoscerli un po' per capire come queste funzioni possono essere utili. Ecco alcune valide pagine per imparare le basi della matematica vettoriale: "Vector math library for FreeCAD"
