Summary	0000328: Support of more basic elements
Description	I think, it would be good to support more basis elements, and basis functionalities which are usefull for more than one application. surbanus said: Elements: - axis systems (interesting for CAM, Measuring, ...) - point and plane (cutting, ...) Functionality: - (show/noshow) show all invisible elements, an select the elements to change them to visible - (selection of elements) by fence, by box, ... I think, some of these functions should appear in the basic system, to be used from every application.
Tags	No tags attached.

Tubes following a given path, for bended tubes (more complicated, but needed very much in mech. engineering) Using such basics combined by boolean operations it would be possible to create a lot of things! Even parts usually created via extrusion of a shape may be created, maybe in a more easy way to understand and to modify, once we see constraints. Just take a sheet (box), cut off the edges (subtracting boxes), drill holes (subtracting cylinders). Matthias

So I will concentrate first to get the base system in shape and the first test for that (sorry) will be the mesh module. After fixing this in the 0.8 release I will go on and wire the Cascade methods to the interface and script of the part module. So stay tuned... Jürgen
