Arch Frame/de

Beschreibung
Das Rahmen-Werkzeug wird zur Erstellung aller Arten von Rahmen-Objekten benutzt, die auf einem Profil und einem Layout basieren. Das Profil wird entlang der Kanten des Layouts extrudiert, das ein beliebiges 2D-Objekt wie einen Skizzen- oder ein Draft-Objekt ist. Das ist besonders nützlich, um Geländer oder Fachwerkwände zu erstellen. Rahmen-Objekte können dann einfach in Wand- oder Struktur-Objekte umgewandelt werden.



In the above image, a line has been turned into an array, and a frame object has been made using the array as layout, and a circle as profile.

How to use

 * 1) Create a layout object and a profile object, for example with the Draft Workbench or the Sketcher Workbench
 * 2) Select the layout object first, then, with  pressed, select the profile object
 * 3) Press the  button, or press  then  keys

Options

 * Frames share the common properties and behaviours of all Arch Components
 * The frame object can be placed at a certain distance from the layout object, by setting its Offset property
 * The profile will be copied at the base of each edge of the layout object, then extruded along it. You can control how the profile is placed at the base of each edge with the Align and Rotation properties.

Properties

 * : The layout this frame is based on.
 * : The profile this frame is based on.
 * : Specifies if the profile must be rotated to have its normal axis aligned with each edge.
 * : An optional distance between the layout object and the frame object.
 * : The rotation of the profile around its extrusion axis.

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


 * Creates a frame object from a base sketch (or any other object containing wires) and a profile object (an extrudable 2D object containing faces or closed wires)
 * Returns the new frame object, or None if the operation failed.
