microelly2 / nodeeditor Goto Github PK

Add screenshot and screencast links + forum thread discussion link etc...

Hi!

I followed the installation instructions in the README (cd ~/apps/freecad/.FreeCAD/Mod; git clone https://github.com/microelly2/PyFlow; suzanne git clone https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py; git clone https://github.com/microelly2/NodeEditor). The check for the imports seems good:

but when I click create all Nodes for Test from the menu tests, I get the following error:

Running the Python command 'Micro_createAllNodesforTests' failed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 199, in Activated
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/suzanne/apps/freecad/.FreeCAD/Mod/NodeEditor/nodeeditor/Commands.py", line 1202, in createAllNodesforTests
    from PyFlow.Packages.PyFlowFreeCAD.Nodes.FreeCAD_Coin import nodelist

No module named 'PyFlow.Packages.PyFlowFreeCAD'

Just in case the instructions were supposed to be followed to the letter, I tried without the implicit step of creating a new document, and get an error because there is no FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.

I noticed I have a folder .FreeCAD/Mod/NodeEditor/PyFlowPackages but not .FreeCAD/Mod/NodeEditor/PyFlow/Packages (notice the slash before Packages), so I tried making a copy with (cd ~/apps/freecad/.FreeCAD/Mod/NodeEditor && mkdir PyFlow && touch PyFlow/__init__.py && cp -ai PyFlowPackages PyFlow/Packages). That seemed to help, and it fails much later:

I was able to create some nodes by clicking, but it seems I can't get any constant to work nor any FreeCAD nodes to work.

I'm running the latest FreeCAD AppImage:

Hi @microelly2
Did you add anywhere regarding the enabling of FreeCAD Nodes? I found the solution on the forum from one of your posts and I think that would be great to add an installation note on the readMe.md about that.

OS: Windows 10 (10.0)
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.22665 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: b0d7850406e046f3b7a8cd5da261e7d54df6bd99
Python version: 3.8.6
Qt version: 5.12.9
Coin version: 4.0.0
OCC version: 7.4.0
Locale: English/United States (en_US)

FreeCAD 0.19 and PyFlowFreeCAD works without any problem on the system above. In addition to the installation instruction on the readme.md, I added the FreeCADNode Package on PyFlow Edit>Preferences>General added the Additional package locations: {Installation Location}\FreeCAD_0.19.22665\Mod\NodeEditor\PyFlowPackages and SaveAndClose. Afterwards, I restarted FreeCAD and everything works pretty smooth. These instructions are at the end of the page, here based on @microelly2 's comment.

Hi @microelly2, I know a little about PyFlow and its features, however, I think it'd good you check https://animation-nodes.com (Animations, "Particles", ...) too, which I hope to give you a clear view

There are some advanced node-based visual programming open standards and tools too, but I think at this stage Animation Nodes is enough

Also, I would be happy to know more about your efforts on STEP AP242 which we talked about on FreeCAD forum.

I work on DfMAL and PLM is crucial for our success: https://github.com/DfMALab
