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.
Press the Remove button.

Or

Select objects to be subtracted, the last object selected must the Arch object from which the other objects will be subtracted.
Press the Remove button.

Scripting

See also: Arch API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The Remove tool can be 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)
