Hi Shiv Charan,

Congratulations,

GSoC page link: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#5662473908125696

Here are the few things you should work on in the community bonding period:

  1. Create a project plan with milestones at https://github.com/amrit3701/FreeCAD-Reinforcement/projects
  2. Create stories and issues at https://github.com/amrit3701/FreeCAD-Reinforcement/issues with tag “GSoC21”
  3. Create a FreeCAD wiki page for your daily logs (for eg: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/User:Suraj_Dadral/GSoC19/logs)
  4. Try to explore Reinforcement workbench code and solve issues.
  5. You can also create and share mockups of footing and wall reinforcements and get feedback from the community. To be a successful GSoC project, regular feedback from the community is very important. :smiley:

Looking forward!

Regards,

Also feel free to try fixing some minor bugs listed in our tracker :blush: :smiley:

Congratulations Shiv!

Your proposal was really impressive and very well prepared.

I had marked myself as willing to mentor this project together with Amritpal. Apparently the google policy now enforces strict 1 to 1 mentor/student, so I have been removed from mentoring this project officially (I will be co-mentoring an IfcOenShell project too). However, I’d be glad to mentor this one too, even unofficially…

As Amritpal said, the most important is to maintain good communication. Try to post as often as possible, with as many screenshots as you can (here if possible, but any other way you prefer works fine too), not only it helps you to organize your thoughts but it also allows people from the community to have a look and give feedback, which is great motivation, the most awesome part of working on an open-source project is seeing people liking and using the stuff you do :wink:

Looking forward to see what you’ll come up with!

Hi @amrit3701

Please permit me to create a plan on the GitHub project board and to create labels.

[*] Create a FreeCAD wiki page for your daily logs (for eg: > https://wiki.freecadweb.org/User:Suraj_Dadral/GSoC19/logs> )

I had also sent a request to get the wiki account to create a FreeCAD wiki page for daily logs.

Done. I sent an invitation. Check you email

Hi @all,

I am working on the issue: https://github.com/amrit3701/FreeCAD-Reinforcement/issues/91
the previous discussion on the issue is here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=426285#p426285

To calculate rebar sharp edges length using outside relocated lines instead of the centre line in rebar shape cut list.
I am planning to get the appropriate length as follows.
In getRebarShapeSVG function of RebarShapeCutListfunc.py :-

  1. Based on rebar type and its orientation, calculate the new top/bottom/right/left cover’s value to adjust rebar length in the rebar shape cut list.
  2. Get relocated points by calling the getpointOf function, with new cover value, based on rebar type.
  3. update basewire based on relocated points.
  4. use this update basewire to create an SVG of rebar.

I am thinking to calculate the new cover value as shown in the attached images.

rebar cover calculation 1.jpeg
rebar cover calculation 2.jpeg
Am I on right track?
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. :slight_smile:
