Description
The Remove tools allows you to do 2 kinds of operations:
- Remove a subcomponent from an Arch object, for example remove a box that has been added to a wall, like in the Arch Add example
- Subtract a shape-based object from an Arch component such as a wall or structure
In the above image, a box is being subtracted from a wall.
How to use
- Select a subcomponent inside an Arch object, or:
- Select object(s) to be subtracted, then the Arch component from which they must be subtracted (the arch component must be the last thing you selected).
- Press the Remove button.
Scripting
The Remove tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:
removeComponents (objectsList,[hostObject])
- removes the given component or the components from the given list from their parents. If a host object is specified, this function will try adding the components as holes to the host object instead.
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)
Arch.removeComponents(box)
