The Arch PipeConnector tool allows to create corner or tee connection between two or three selected Arch Pipes.
See the information on Arch Pipe for the workflow on using pipes and creating connectors.
See also: Arch API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
The Pipe Connector tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:
Connector = makePipeConnector(pipes, radius=0, name="Connector")
Connector
object from the given pipes
, which is a list of Arch Pipes, and optionally a radius
of curvature.
Example:
import FreeCAD, Draft, Arch
p1 = FreeCAD.Vector(-1000, 0, 0)
p2 = FreeCAD.Vector(-2000, 0, 0)
p3 = FreeCAD.Vector(-2000, 0, 0)
p4 = FreeCAD.Vector(-2000, -1000, 0)
p5 = FreeCAD.Vector(-2000, -1000, 0)
p6 = FreeCAD.Vector(-4000, -1000, 0)
Line1 = Draft.makeWire([p1, p2])
Line2 = Draft.makeWire([p3, p4])
Line3 = Draft.makeWire([p5, p6])
Pipe1 = Arch.makePipe(Line1, 150)
Pipe2 = Arch.makePipe(Line2, 150)
Pipe3 = Arch.makePipe(Line3, 150)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Conn = Arch.makePipeConnector([Pipe1, Pipe2])
Conn2 = Arch.makePipeConnector([Pipe2, Pipe3])
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Line4 = Draft.move(Line1, FreeCAD.Vector(-500, 1000, 0), copy=True)
Line5 = Draft.move(Line2, FreeCAD.Vector(-500, 1000, 0), copy=True)
Pipe4 = Arch.makePipe(Line4, 100)
Pipe5 = Arch.makePipe(Line5, 100)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Conn3 = Arch.makePipeConnector([Pipe4, Pipe5], radius=400)
