Introduction

The OSE pipe workbench is a FreeCAD workbench with pipes and fittings. It creates pipes and fitting using FreeCAD Parts workbench and | Flamingo.

FreeCAD scripted object
It should be possible to represent the object with "classic" FreeCAD forms like cylinders, spheres, sweeping objects ...
It should be possible to use solids.
The main purpose is to create tools for moving, rotations, and fittings.

-I going to create a workbench similar to flamingo. At least, until the point when I can collaborate with the author of the flamingo.
+The OSE pipe workbench is a FreeCAD workbench with pipes and fittings. It creates pipes and fitting using FreeCAD Parts workbench and [https://github.com/oddtopus/flamingo | Flamingo].
-The main difference between Flamingo and OSE-piping-workbench is that the OSEPW focuses in a little bit more realistic representation of pipe fittings.
-I will also do some experiments with mathematical description of the pipe fistings.
-My main idea is to abstract all the piping forms (pipe and fitting) to a base + branches with normal vectors. This should make it easy to position and to rotate the piping objects.
-Everyone is welcome to discuss and criticize my approach.
