Hello all,

for an connection between a blower and a burner i needed a sheet metal cone and decided to write a little inkscape extension that can do the calculating and drawing steps over and over again very fast

The extension unfolds a frustum (=truncated cone) or a cone (if cut diameter=0) and generates a sheet cutting layout or flat pattern projection
that can be rolled or bend up into a (truncated) cone shape. The source code can be viewed and downloaded from:
https://github.com/quirxi/SheetMetalCone/

Documentation can also be found here:
http://www.quirxi.net/code/python/sheet ... rview.html

If somebody finds a bug or has suggestions please contact me here.


regards,
quirxi

Awesome!

You may want to have it listed here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... Repository. To do that, post a message on the development mailing list (https://inkscape.org/en/community/mailing-lists/) and ask for wiki edit permission.

Or if you give me permission, I can post it in the repository for you.

Hah, I've just asked quirxi in the German forum to post it at inkscape.org

Great minds think alike!

@brynn

I just was able to list the extension at the german gallery (https://inkscape.org/de/gallery/item/7196/)
but it would be great if you could post it in the repository wiki because I guess you will be much faster than me, if you dont mind ?

I don't mind at all

Great - soon we'll hit the pagination limit (for the addons gallery)
