# DESCRIPTION

# This script imports FreeCAD .FCStd files into Blender. This is a work in
# progress, so not all geometry elements of FreeCAD might be suported at
# this point. The development of this addon happens on the FreeCAD forum
# at https://forum.freecadweb.org (no thread yet, please
# create one ;) !)

# WARNING

# This addon requires FreeCAD to be installed on your system.
# A word of warning, your version of FreeCAD must be compiled
# with the same version of python as Blender. The first two
# numbers of the python version must be the same. For example,
# if Blender is using Pyhon 3.7.2, your version of FreeCAD must
# use Python 3.7 too (the third number after 3.7
#
# Once you have a Python3 version of FreeCAD installed, the FreeCAD
# Python module must be known to Blender. There are several ways to obtain
# this:
#
# 1) Set the correct path to FreeCAD.so (or FreeCAD.pyd on windows) in
#    the Addons preferences in user settings, there is a setting for
#    that under the addon panel
#
# 2) Copy or symlink FreeCAD.so (or FreeCAD.pyd on windows) to one of the
#    directories from the list you get when doing this in a Python console:
#
#    import sys; print(sys.path)
#
#    On Debian/Ubuntu and most Linux systems, an easy way to do this is is
#    to symlink FreeCAD.so to your local (user) python modules folder:
#
#    ln -s /path/to/FreeCAD.so /home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
#
#    (make sure to use the same python version your blender is using instead
#    of 3.6)
#
# 3) A more brutal way if the others fail is to uncomment the following line
#    and set the correct path to where your FreeCAD.so or FreeCAD.pyd resides:
#
#    import sys; sys.path.append("/path/to/FreeCAD.so")
#
# A simple way to test if everything is OK is to enter the following line
# in the Python console of Blender. If no error message appears,
# everything is fine:
#
#    import FreeCAD

# TODO

# support clones + hires
# support texts, dimensions, etc (non-part/mesh objects)

# HISTORY

# v1.0.0 - 12 june 2018 - initial release - basically working
# v2.0.0 - 21 june 2018 - option to turn cycles mat on/off, per-face material support,
#                         use of polygons when possible, shared materials
# v3.0.0 - 06 february 2019 - ported to Blender 2.80
# v4.0.0 - 07 february 2019 - API changes + support of transparency
# v5.0.0 - 13 august 2019 - small fixes and better info messages if things go wrong

Hi.
Line 167 and 169 are missing a closing parenthesis ')'

That's what you get of editing at the last minute without testing 😄
Thanks for notifying! It's fixed now

Wonderful idea! But it's a pity that there is such an incompatibility between Python 3.6 and 3.7 . I wonder if is not possible to load directly the file without using the FreeCAD libraries, this would make the import easier. At the end, the xml files inside the .fcstd should contain all the information. Am I wrong?

Apologies for commenting here but I wasn't sure if FreeCAD forum or Blender was best, but decided to go straight to the author.

Im am running MacOS 10.15, with Blender 2.8 and FreeCAD 0.19 ( For Python comparability). I have installed the Add-on via the Blender "Preferences -> Add-on -> Install from File". I have added the FreeCAD.so path and restarted Blender. When I import a .fcstd file; the screenshot below appears. I have tried running "import FreeCAD" in the Blender python console, no error is shown.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I've the same problem...
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I do not figure out how to solve this issue.
Thank you for your work!!

Kind regards!

It's not that simple unfortunately... All the geometry information is stored in the Brep files. Reconstructing everything from the xml file is not always possible, and in any case it would be almost like reprogramming a new FreeCAD engine from scratch as it would need to recalculate all the geometry without using its current OCC engine

Sorry guys, forgot to look here. This is really weird... But I have no mac to test unfortunately... You'll have to help me I guess...
Can you try this in the Python console?

import FreeCAD
print(dir(FreeCAD))
print(FreeCAD.__file__)

Hi. I am trying to make this add-on to work but I don't understand how to install-it properly.

I am using MacOS 10.14 with the latest FreeCAD v0.19 version from Github and Blender 2.82 stable release.

When I try to activate the add-on, I have this error message:

How can I define the path to the FreeCAD app, so that the addon can find my FreeCAD install?

P.S. Seems that FreeCAD it is using Python 3.8.2 and Blender 3.7.2. How can I make Blender to load the 3.8.2 version of Python?

How can I define the path to the FreeCAD app, so that the addon can find my FreeCAD install?

Inside Blender:

import sys
print(sys.path)

This will show you all the folders where Python looks for modules. the FreeCAD.so file must be in one of them.
The easiest way is to locate your FreeCAD.so file, and then set its path in the addon preferences in Blender. Another solution is to create a symbolic link (not sure how to do that on Mac...) from your FreeCAD.so file into one of the folders given by the command above.

P.S. Seems that FreeCAD it is using Python 3.8.2 and Blender 3.7.2. How can I make Blender to load the 3.8.2 version of Python?

You cannot do that on the fly. The python version is built-in, hard-coded when FreeCAD and Blender are compiled (this is because they are both C++ applications that embed the C++ code of Python). So your only solution is to replace either your version of Blender or FreeCAD with one that has matching Python version...

Hi Yorik. Thank you for your answer.

On MacOS, I do found the FreeCAD.so located here: "/Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/lib/FreeCAD.so"

After creating the symplink using the command: ln -s /Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/lib/FreeCAD.so /Users/user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages , I do get another error but I do think that this is because the different Python version used by FreeCAD.

It is on internet an archive with different FreeCAD builds? I can't find a FreeCAD MacOS build with Python 3.7.

I found this package: "osx-64/freecad-0.19.pre-py37hdbba661_85.tar.bz2" from: https://anaconda.org/freecad/freecad/files?page=2

but after unarchiving I get this error when activating the "FreeCAD Importer Addon" on Blender:

It is hard for me to say what's wrong because I'm not familiar with MacOS, but by the look of it, either FreeCAD was not correctly installed (FreeCAD.so file is corrupt somehow), or there is a python version mismatch. Make sure your Blender Python version is 3.7.X (the third number doesn't matter)? You find that info in the Python console of Blender
