Hard to guess, what with no pictures of the tree view, no pictures of the model... and no FreeCAD file attached.
My crystal ball is out for repair.

Re: strange results when exporting to stl / step
I think that instead of doing every single pocket you could draw a sketch that includes them all and apply it only once. In my humble opinion, if you choose the face of a geometry as a pocket geometry, you encounter the TNP. Don't choose a face. That's generated geometry and prone to TNP. Create th...

Re: PartDesign Thickness doesn't cross planes?
My appologies for a poorly worded question which seemed like another attempt at my previous question. I meant it to get clarification on how robust the thickness operation was (thank you @chrisb) rather than get a solution to the pipe join issue. Unfortunately, the simple answer is, the Thickness t...

Re: strange results when exporting to stl / step
When I open your file the report view show a Wire not closed. There is a red exclamation on Sketch and Validate sketch shows 2 troublesome vertexes. With the error in the tree the model won't recompute and what is shown is the last valid recompute. I would ask, why all the Boolean operations? Also, ...

Re: Projecting sketch onto curved surface using Add wire option results in thin projection
Select in the tree view "Sketch On Surface".
In the Properties view Data tab set:
Fill faces = true
Thickness = <some value>

Re: Is it possible to constrain parts of a sketch to an external primitive?
Method 4??? You have a Std_Part (yellow icon), it is not needed. You have a Part Design Body. But the helix and sketch aren't members of the Body. You could just make the radius of the cylinder the same as the helix. Or, use a Dynamic Data value (or even a spreadsheet cell) and set the radius proper...

Re: Sketch fully constrained, but still not
I tough, if the sketch is "Fully constrained." and if it the sketch is green then everything should be in perfect condition. But for some reason it is not. So, what did I missing? There is a bit of misconception about the state "fully constrained". It really means all DOF's have...

Re: Converting Mesh objects to solid
Thank you again drmacro. After considerable head-scratching and hours of frustration (primarily with my own ignorance) I have succeeded. I think the key was to use the extrusion tool rather than trying to pad the Shapestring. Anyway, I now have what I want (and hopefully can reproduce it when neces...

Re: Regression: Undocked Property View won't yield
With today's build Since which build number or commit do you see the regression? if changes are made to the undocked treeview What kind of changes? (with overlay system active) And if it's not active do you see the regression, too? then an undocked Property view no longer drops behind the current a...

Re: Curves workbench
The other issue is if you have the tree view in transparent mode on the left of the 3D view, the info is displayed under the treeview and is obscured. Not sure what would be best here. (I'd ping the overlay guru...but I don't know who that is.) In version 0.6.35, I have added 2 new float parameters...
