If it sounds like I don't really know how to use any of this stuff, then you are getting the right impression. I moved that to my Windoze 10 machine and opened it in fusion360 and saw extrusions, polygons, unions and things. In the model menu on the left I selected all the geometry and then did file->export step with colors to make spoolholder.step. I then started freecad and opened spoolholder.csg.

Found I could fix THAT error with "apt install python3-pip" followed with "pip install ply".Īfter all that I could open my spoolholder.scad and then file->export spoolholder.csg and close scad. Couldn't open freecad but found I could fix that error with "apt-get install python3-pyqt5" but got other error "import ply.lex could not be resolved". openscad worked to read then export the model. I tried this procedure and IT WORKED! I have a system with Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS and did "apt-get install openscad freecad" to install both. Now if only there were a way to do the same thing with.

So I just pressed Ctrl+A to select all, then File > Export.Įdit: I have now learned that selecting Group001 from the list, instead of selecting all, is a far better option. I the model tab, I had loads of items called Line001, Line002, etc. In FreeCAD go to Edit > Preferences > Workbenches > OpenSCAD > Load now (probably a good idea to check the Autoload option too). Thanks for the guide, seems you missed a bit though. Successful press-pull on continuous face from SCAD>CSG>STEP File conversion

When I convert from SCAD to CSG in OpenSCAD, then from CSG to STEP in FreeCAD (as per the workflow above) the continuous face is easily adjusted with the press-pull function When I use an imported STL (mesh converted to Brep) the faces are not continuous and I cannot adjust tolerances with the press-pull functionįailed press-pull on continuous face from SCAD>STL File conversion

I often come across files on thingiverse and elsewhere with OpenSCAD files, but I could not figure out a good way to import these files into Fusion360 while maintaining the proper shapes and dimensions without dealing with a mesh. Now you should have a converted body that is able to be edited non-destructively.Open Fusion360 and select File>Open (Ctrl+O)>"Open from my computer.".Go to File>Export (Ctrl+E) and Export to "STEP with colors (*.step, *.stp)" and save.
