A Python parametric CAD application

poccad

poccad is a Python parametric CAD application using pyqt5 and keeping original pythonocc scripts syntax.

The idea is modeling in an user friendly framework with a didactic way to learn and use pythonocc. You can edit your code and render your file on the same UI, use any of the pythonocc-core method that are not yet implement as long as you import them, export your project as .py files or 3d exchange format such as .stp, .iges or .stl.

Example of use :

• Modeling part and export
• Developp functions in a friendly user framework before implement in your code
• Discover and learn pythonocc by trying and consult files

I guess the code needs a lot clean-up and hope it would be useful to anybody. I've started to implement method in lib\Scripts such as make_box , draw_point or export_step, a contribute instructions file will follow.

Generated files are named *.pocc or *.py

The Qt designer file is poccad.ui then converted in poccad.py thanks to the line stored in cmd_qtGUI.txt and all the functions are stored under poccad_Method.py

Launch

Requires : pythonocc-core and PyQt5. Installation guide will be add soon, but you can refer to https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-core with for example conda installing https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pythonocc-core

Execute poccad_launcher.py to get started

New ui design and functions, readme update coming soon

Examples from the previous UI :

Open a demo file :

Boolean cut and export result as filename.step :

Translate a box and change view to Top :
