The SH2 Panels workbench is an experimental FreeCAD workbench to generate wall modules for Seed Eco-Home 2.
To try it, download and extract the zip file, then move the Panel-Workbench folder to the appropriate location.
Excel cheat sheet - This zip contains an excel file that I used for building without the workbench and has the parameters used in the workbench script
This is how I created panels manually by adding boxes and then setting the size and position
The workbench just automates that process to build the basic panels in one click. (It current does 9ft exterior, 8ft exterior, and 8ft interior panels)
To modify the full panel into a specialized panel, it's very easy to change the position values (or the length, width, and height) as needed.
Suggestion: I think it might be nice to have two files for each panel. One such as Seh2_wall_1_detail with the un-Compounded parts plus then the usual Seh2_wall_1 for the compounded and simple copy that is positionally correct.
