  • Online Help Startpage
    Online_Help_Startpage Online Help Startpage Welcome to the FreeCAD on-line help This document has been automatically created from the contents of the official FreeCAD wiki documentation, which can be read online at http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Main_Page . Since the wiki is actively maintained and continuously developed by the FreeCAD community of developers and users, you may find that the online version contains more or newer information than this document. But neverthless, we hope you will find here all information you need. In case you have questions you can't find answers for in this document, have a look on the FreeCAD forum, where you can maybe find your question answered, or someone able to help you. How to use This document is divided into several sections: introduction, usage, scripting and development, the last three address specifically the three broad categories of users of FreeCAD: end-users, who simply want to use the program, power-users, who are interested by the scripting capabilities of FreeCAD and would like to customize some of its aspects, and developers, who consider FreeCAD as a base for developing their own applications. If you are comletely new to FreeCAD, we suggest you to start simply from the introduction. Contribute As you may have experienced sometimes, programmers are really bad help writers! For them it is all completely clear because they made it that way. Therefore it's vital that experienced users help us to write and revise the documentation. Yes, we mean you! How, you ask? Just go to the Wiki at http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php in the User section.

  • Programming Resume
    Thomas John Hastings Programming Resume Introduction: I am a highly motivated self-starter with a passion for problem solving. As the owner of a thriving entertainment agency, Big Top Entertainment, I used coding as a way to automate and improve our business processes. I also designed, built and programmed my own unique performance equipment. Since the pandemic and recurring lockdowns have put live entertainment on hold, I have repurposed my passion for programming into a full time focus. I am looking for a challenge, to be involved in building something, learning new technology and sharing the knowledge I have gained from my own projects. Programming – languages and frameworks: Processing I have extensive knowledge of this Java-based creative programming language. The great thing about Processing is the way you can deploy to Desktop, Mobile, and Cloud with only a few modifications to the same code base. Android (Java) I have seven Android apps published to the Google Play Store, five of which are written in Java. I have developed many more for personal use, including the most recent, CoronaVirusSA, an open source app which graphs reliable stats on the COVID-19 outbreak in South Africa. JavaScript Anyone developing for the web needs to know JavaScript. I am familiar with the Flask back end with Jinja, Bootstrap, JQuery, as well as the excellent Tabulator library for tables. Currently (2020/21) my free time is spent on a couple of entertainment related side projects using this stack. Linux I have been using Ubuntu as my main computing system for over 10 years, both in the cloud (DigitalOcean) and on my Laptop.

  • Autodesk Revit Building for ACAD Users
    AUTODESK REVIT ARCHITECTURE FOR AUTOCAD USERS WHITE PAPER Autodesk Revit Architecture for AutoCAD Users Autodesk Revit Architecture building design software works the way architects and designers think, so you can develop higher-quality, more accurate architectural designs. Built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), Autodesk Revit Architecture helps you capture and analyze concepts and maintain your vision through design, documentation, and construction. Make more informed decisions with information-rich models to support sustainable design, construction planning, and fabrication. Automatic updates keep your designs and documentation coordinated and more reliable. Many building industry professionals are familiar with AutoCAD® software and use it today for their work. This white paper will help those who are familiar with that tool understand how Autodesk Revit Architecture works on their terms, introducing some of the main features and concepts in Autodesk Revit Architecture and comparing them to those you may be familiar with in AutoCAD. If you are a current AutoCAD user interested in Autodesk Revit Architecture and building information modeling, the AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite software may be right for you. It couples the industry- leading AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture software with the state-of-the-art Autodesk Revit Architecture software for building information modeling into a single, comprehensive solution. Autodesk Revit Architecture Suite software turns maximum flexibility into competitive advantage. It enables you to make the switch to Building Information Modeling (BIM) at your own pace, while continuing to support existing software, training, and design data investments. True 3D design A major difference between Autodesk Revit Architecture and AutoCAD is that you work with intelligent objects rather than lines and curves.
