Arch Space/en

Description
Basically it is a solid shape (but represented as "empty") that can be defined either
 * 1) by an underlying solid shape object or
 * 2) by a set of boundary faces from other objects. In that case, the space volume is defined by taking the bounding box of all the faces, then removing exterior parts behind the boundary faces.



New boundary faces can be added later with the Arch Add button, even to spaces created from a solid. Existing boundaries can be removed with the Arch Remove button.

How to use

 * Select faces or objects
 * Press the button, or press,  keys

Scripting
The space tool can be used in python scripts and macros by using the following function:


 * Creates a space object from the given objects.
 * Objects can be one document object, in which case it becomes the base shape of the space object, or a list of selection objects as returned by FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelectionEx, or a list of tuples (object, subobjectname).
 * Returns the newly created space object.

Example:

After a space object is created, selected faces can be added to it with the following function:

Boundaries can also be removed with:
