I am trying to use the Surface WB, particularly the Filling command. Thank you to the developer(s) of this WB, it's much appreciated. I'm struggling to get good results, and I'm hoping to find a more comprehensive description of the Filling command. I am using four boundary edges, and a number of &q...

Thanks for your reply. I have solved this one, it seems that a Draft::Polyline can't be used. I've changed to 3D bezier curves, and they are now selectable, thanks.

Sorry, there's one case that doesn't fix. I can see that you're creating lines using Part::LineSegment, and this works fine for line entities. What about points created by addExternal? This function doesn't return an entity object, it returns none. I guess that generalizing your example, entities fr...

I have an edge which is 3D, and was created as a polyline in the Draft WB. Is it ineligible for use as a boundary edge in Surface::Filling?

Paul

Fabulous, exactly what I need. Thank you.

When creating features such as planes, sketches, bezier curves etc, the constructor for the feature returns the instance of the object, which allows the object to be referenced in future lines of code. It seems to me that sketch entities work differently. The addConstraint function requires the enti...

Hi, I've managed to solve this myself. I found a reference on another post to customise->Spaceball. Have made changes and it works!

Thanks anyway...

I pulled out my old SpacePilot with the aim of using it on FreeCAD. It's an older device, but one still supported (just) by an older driver. I've installed the driver, and it works fine on SketchUp (my other CAD system). I understand that this device works on FreeCAD using the 3Dmouse interface, and...

I have a simple question.

When I create or edit a sketch, the view re-orientates to the sketch plane. I find this annoying, as I usually want to maintain the view to keep my visual orientation of the model.

Can I disable this behaviour? Ihave checked the settings but I can't seem to find it.

@Chris_G, thank you so much for your detailed reply.

I'll focus on the Part module then for the time being.
