Re: Techdraw Line where faces meet?

ok, I will, but the link appears to be broken. I went to this page: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Appimage Then followed the link under "Development Version", which is at 0.19: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/download/0.19_pre/FreeCAD_0.19-18403-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x...

Re: Techdraw Line where faces meet?

when I select "Center Roof_Part", the "Part -> Create Simple Copy" menu option is grayed out. I have to select the body underneath it to make it selectable. Our menu paths appear slightly different. Mine (when in the Part Workbench) is "Part -> Create Simple Copy". your...

Re: Techdraw Line where faces meet?

ok, found it, thank you. Sorry for the additional questions, but things just don't seem to be working for me. You created a "Center Roof_Part001" object which includes both my "Center Roof" part and the "Skylight Body". I can't seem to do anything except make independen...

Techdraw Line where faces meet?

I'm trying to create a drawing using Techdraw, but the 2-D projections are missing lines in locations I would expect a line to exist. In my example, I am modeling the roof of a house. My model includes locations where the roof planes meet to form a valley. This is modelled in FreeCAD as two 3D solid...

Re: Techdraw unusably slow...

wandererfan: Thanks for pointing out the geometry problems. I've corrected them and made a few other improvements. My top-level assembly has now gone from 2.5 minutes per redraw to 1.5 minutes per redraw. It's a significant improvement, but still quite unusable. Here is the full file. Please see if ...

Techdraw unusably slow...

I built a model using A2Plus assembly workbench and now I'm trying to apply that to a drawing using TechDraw. TechDraw is unusably slow. Every button click or property update which results in a re-render causes FreeCAD to hang for 3 to 5 minutes. I've turned off "Detect Faces", "Show ...

BIM Model of Gable roof with uneven ends

I am trying to model a gable roof that has different wall heights on one side vs. the other and different slopes on each side as well. Reference this image: http://www.raftertools.net/help/unequal_gable.htm However, when I model this in FreeCAD, I'm getting an "index out of bounds" error. ...
