Description

When used, this command recomputes all altered components on the screen and refreshes the display.

How to use

Press F5 or Ctrl+R or click on the icon Refresh.

Limitations

FreeCAD will only allow Refresh when (according to the program's opinion) an alteration of a component happened. Then the grayed-out Refresh-Icon will become blue. To force a manual recompute you could use the macro Force Recompute

Scripting

See also: FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

Recomputing the model can be done in macros and from the Python console by using the recompute method of the currently active document.

import FreeCAD as App

doc = App.newDocument()
doc.recompute()
# App.ActiveDocument.recompute()
