Summary: Still trying to import furniture into FreeCAD models from SweetHome 3D, have not had success. Did a sloppy first attemot at making a checklist for the group to use. Will start tomorrow with some basic personal administrative stuff but will try to focus on FreeCAD modeling of the FreeCAD parts. Calling it a day, goodnight.

Completion Checklist

The following is a test, to be uploaded on main page once sufficiently completed.

A summary of tasks to be completed for a comprehensive 3D cad model of the Seed Home v2. To be expanded and updated by those performing tasks, both listed and not yet listed here.

An 'x' within brackets indicate a completed task, empty brackets indicate incomplete. Indented tasks indicate sub-tasks.


Current tasks:

   [ ] Break down FreeCAD files of assemblies into FreeCAD files of individual parts
       [ ] Sub task 1
   [ ] Import furniture (includes doors, windows, and fixtures) into FreeCAD files of assemblies


Note: checklist written in markdown format, which is not used by Mediawiki, but hopefully clear enough for human users.
