[feature request] Represent reinforcing bars with centerlines on TechDraw views #179
Description
The built-in reinforcement drawing generator tool does not work well for me as I would like to set up the views and sections as I see fit for the structure, and the Anglo-Saxon drawing style is not used in the part of the world I live in.
I have tried to show the reinforcing bars on TechDraw views and sections, which would look great, however it takes an insane amount of processing power (and time) to represent them as solids even on a fairly simple structure. The ugly hack I found to work for now is taking a subset of the bars I would show on a view or section, group them, calculate a Shape2DView of them, insert that on the TechDraw drawing and position it over the section view of the concrete structure. It would be a lot easier if the bars could be shown with their centerlines only (no need for expensive solid view calculations), and the result would be very similar with a sufficiently thick linewidth (or even better as bars cut by the sectionplane or not or hidden behind something would be distinguishable).
I think this would be very important for FreeCAD to catch on as a tool to be used pofessionally for reinforcement detailing - outside of the Anglo-Saxon world.
