Description

The FHSegment tool inserts a FastHenry segment object.

FastHenry FHSegment

Usage

The FHSegment object can be based on the position of a Draft Line object, or on two existing FHNodes that will be the FHSegment end points, or you can select the 3D location of the two end points, where two additional FHNodes will be created.

  1. Press the EM FHSegment button, or press E then S keys.
  2. Click a first point on the 3D view, or type coordinates and press the add point button.
  3. Click a second point on the 3D view, or type coordinates and press the add point button.

Alternatively, you can also:

  1. Select two FHNode objects
  2. Press the EM FHSegment button, or press E then S keys.

Or:

  1. Select one or multiple Draft Line object(s)
  2. Press the EM FHSegment button, or press E then S keys. As many FHSegment objects will be created as the Draft Line objects.

Scripting

See also: FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The FHSegment object can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function: 

segment = makeFHSegment(baseobj=None, nodeStart=None, nodeEnd=None, width=None, height=None, name='FHSegment')

Example: 

import FreeCAD, EM

fhnode1 = EM.makeFHNode(X=1.0,Y=0,Z=0)
fhnode2 = EM.makeFHNode(X=0,Y=1.0,Z=0)

fhsegment = EM.makeFHSegment(nodeStart=fhnode1, nodeEnd=fhnode2)
