cq_warehouse 0.5.0 - Projection and Emboss

[Roger Maitland]

I just released v0.5.0 of cq_warehouse.extensions which a collection of enhancement to cadquery.  Here is a list of the methods:
    cq.Assembly.translate()
    cq.Assembly.rotate()
    cq.Plane.toLocalCoords()
    cq.Vector.rotateX()
    cq.Vector.rotateY()
    cq.Vector.rotateZ()
    cq.Vector.pointToVector()
    cq.Vector.toVertex()
    cq.Vector.getSignedAngle()
    cq.Vertex.add()
    cq.Vertex.sub()
    cq.Vertex.str()
    cq.Vertex.toVector()
    cq.Workplane.text()
    cq.Workplane.textOnPath()
    cq.Workplane.hexArray()
    cq.Workplane.thicken()
    cq.Face.thicken()
    cq.Face.projectToShape()
    cq.Face.embossToShape()
    cq.Wire.makeNonPlanarFace()
    cq.Wire.projectToShape()
    cq.Wire.embossToShape()
    cq.Edge.projectToShape()
    cq.Edge.embossToShape()
    cq.Shape.findIntersection()
    cq.Shape.projectText()
    cq.Shape.embossText()

With these methods you'll be able to project and emboss edges/wires/faces onto shapes enabling a whole new set of capabilities with cadquery - like this:

As always, if you find a bug, inconsistency or just have a suggestion for improvement please let me know here or raise a github issue.

Cheers,

Roger

Great, thanks for sharing!

FYI - cq_warehouse is listed as a third-party plugin on the cadquery-plugins repo. Please comment or open a PR there if any of the information is outdated or in error. https://github.com/CadQuery/cadquery-plugins/blob/main/third_party.md#plugin-listing

Thanks for sharing this. I see most of the APIs to project the shape and text. Is there any API or any way to create imprints of this projected face/text on the target body. The target body should get modified.

Thanks,

Rajesh
