BikeCAD Feature Request

Is there already an option for external butted seat tubes? I could't find it so far.

Might be a nice feature, as it affects the miter templates from SS and TT.

Smooth - for road tires

Light tread - for gravel

Heavy tread - for MTB

Currently text and logos can be added to the stem and seatpost but not the crank. Most cranks come with logos so additing this feature would increase realism.

Currently the cage and bottle must be displayed together.

Hi Brent,

I'm not sure if there is already a topic about UDH dropouts or if you already planned to integrate it in the next version of BikeCAD, however I haven't found one entry.

For me it would be really nice to have an option to integrate UDH dropouts in BikeCAD for my next builds, for example from metalguru or praragon machine works. Do you have already something in the queue?

Thanks!

Hi Brent,

There is a function that I think is quite good to have, in this case it would be the template of the HT and the BB where the tubes rest. Just as we have the template, for example, for cutting the ST, that same cut supports the BB, it would be good to have that template so that when we make the internal guides we can adjust the holes.

I hope I have explained myself well.

What do you think, would it be easy to implement?

By the way, when will the new version be available?

Thanks

Carlos

Hey Brent,

Would it be difficult to implement additional geometry for externally butted seat tubes e.g. taper length + butt length? Additionally would it be possible to indicate where that taper is visually (e.g. dotted line)? It'd be a little helpful for dropped stays.

Thanks

Hi Brent,

I emailed you about this a few weeks (months) ago, I don't know if you had time to give this feature any more thought.

In order to cnc mitre the main triangle tubes with a cnc lathe/mill (or waterjet/laser/plasma), it would be nice to be able to export the list of X/Y coordinates of the mitre cut profiles that are already available as a PDF export in BikeCAD.

Or maybe it is something that's possible to do with a FreeCAD export and then output this list of X/Y coordinates of the mitres profiles from FreeCAD.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.

I would love the ability to add tubes out of plane with the main trainagles. In addition to the tubes main diameter, it would be nice to be able to establish this tube's position fore and aft, left and right of the top tube center and have other tube connection points and mitres calcuated based on its presense.

Example: Add a tube on top of the seat tube in pararllel with the bottom bracket that serves as the connection point of the of the top tube and seat stays.

An additional dimension of steerer tube length to bottom edge of crown would be nice. Something like the "minimum length" dimension available for the main tubes. -G
