From Osdag, FOSSEE team at IIT Bombay: **Task-1: Develop a Python-based view cube for Osdag.** Participants will have to develop a custom Python-based view cube (like a navigation cube for FreeCAD). This cube shall have chamfered edges where the users can select a particular view. The cube should also be rotatable to see different sides. **Expected Outputs:** - A cube with chamfered edges - All chamfered edges to allow the view at the specific angle - Mergable with the CAD window on Osdag **Participants should develop a Python-based custom cube.** This track aims to aid the interactiveness of CAD on Osdag while also focusing on its stability. **References:** - In the current release version of Osdag ([Downloads | OSDAG](https://osdag.fossee.in/resources/downloads)), a C++ based cube has been enabled, which is leading to crashes (especially on Linux machines). - The expected behaviour of the cube should be equivalent to the currently implemented cube (if not better than it). - The latest changes (without the cube) can be accessed from the GitHub repository on the dev branch ([GitHub - osdag-admin/Osdag at dev](https://github.com/osdag-admin/Osdag/tree/dev)). Users can set up the Conda environment with the instructions on the installation page on the website ([Downloads | OSDAG](https://osdag.fossee.in/resources/downloads)) **Caveats** - The applicant will have to transfer the copyrights of it to the Osdag Team at IIT Bombay The custom cube shall be entirely developed on Python (UI: PySide6, Python Version: \>3.11) **Contact Us** - Discussion can be initiated on the Osdag Discord Channel (on the forum thread under community): [Osdag](https://discord.gg/4H4RDmnw) - Discussion can be initiated on the Osdag’s GitHub repository: [osdag-admin/Osdag · Discussions · GitHub](https://github.com/osdag-admin/Osdag/discussions) - Write us on: contact-osdag@fossee.in - Website: osdag.fossee.in - ![Screenshot 2026-02-28 222126](https://forum.fossunited.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0de0775b26818098037a390bc72e13f8f6624175.png) ![Screenshot 2026-02-28 222104](https://forum.fossunited.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3f950ea34c7b75d69ae83138799717524c12a909.png) ![Screenshot 2026-02-28 222045](https://forum.fossunited.org/uploads/default/original/2X/c/ccaddef2a4c61de2d498f648bd7849cfdf3108e8.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fossunited.org/t/problem-statements-and-ideas-fosshack-2026/7186)._
