Before this fix, double-clicking on an ArchMultimaterial object opened its task panel as expected. Unexpectedly, its label was selected and set for edit. - The tree view's double-click handling expects the view-provider to declare whether it handled the double-click. - The ViewProvider API's doubleClicked() is documented to return bool (True if handled). - If a view provider's doubleClicked method returns None/False, the tree falls back to the default Qt behavior (which is beginning inline editing of the item label). - In ArchMaterial.py the view provider calls self.edit() (or FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.setEdit(...)) but the method that the tree actually calls (the view provider's doubleClicked) does not return True. Because the method returns None, the tree continues and starts inline label-editing. In summary: setEdit returning True is fine, but doubleClicked is the method the tree checks; it must return True to suppress the default inline rename.

Overview
-
Freedom to build what you want FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history to change its parameters.
-
Create 3D from 2D and back FreeCAD lets you sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high quality production-ready drawings.
-
Designed for your needs FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture, whether you are a hobbyist, programmer, experienced CAD user, student or teacher.
-
Cross platform FreeCAD runs on Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems.
-
Underlying technology
- OpenCASCADE A powerful geometry kernel, the most important component of FreeCAD
- Coin3D library Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model
- Python FreeCAD offers a broad Python API
- Qt Graphical user interface built with Qt
Installing
Precompiled packages for stable releases are available for Windows, macOS and Linux on the latest releases page.
On most Linux distributions, FreeCAD is also directly installable from the software center application.
For weekly development releases visit the releases page.
Other options are described on the wiki Download page.
Compiling
FreeCAD requires several dependencies to correctly compile for development and production builds. The following pages contain updated build instructions for their respective platforms:
Reporting Issues
To report an issue please:
- Consider posting to the Forum, Discord channel, or Reddit to verify the issue;
