FCStd Read Mod (Exchange)¶

Functionality¶

This node is an experimental modification of the original FCStd Read node. This node reads one or more FCStd files, and

inputs: Labels can be used to narrow down which objects you wish retrieve from the files.
outputs: the obj.Shape as a Solid socket, it also
outputs: obj.FullName, obj.Name, obj.Label in the Names socket.

global update:, when this is enabled, any updates upstream into this node will trigger an update and the file is read again. Useful if your file is changing externally.
read body:, add PartDesign Body items to the seek list
read part:, add Part items to the seek list.
tool parts:, (todo)
inverse filter:, this will produce only the items listed in the Filter labels.
merge linked:, this will pull in objects that are linked from other FreeCAD files. ( App Link )
read all:, this “greedy mode” tells the node to ignore any filter labels and instead all possible shapes.
unit factor: selected object shapes will be scaled locally by this factor, unchanged if 1.0
