Hi, I've read through the examples and tutorials at https://github.com/Zolko-123/FreeCAD_Examples and I've noticed that when a local coordinate system that's supported by something 'inside' a body (e.g. a sketch vertex or a vertex of the body) is created and the local coordinate system is a child of...

That's not very elegant, since we always end up with : face.cutHoles(wires) if not face.isValid(): face.validate() So I am now testing some face validation inside cutHoles() function. Thanks, that's very much appreciated. I can, of course, only speak for myself, but if it turns out too difficult or...

Thanks a lot for your help guys. Is there a documentation of the python API somewhere? I'd hate to bug the forum every time I run into one of these issues. Most of my questions just come down to 'how to use the API properly'. My best way up to now is to do a Google search starting with "FreeCA...

Sorry! I had tested it here and then transferred it to the names you used - and got the wrong post with your not working example. You have to set Refine for the fusion you created, so it should be part = face.extrude(Base.Vector(x, 0, 0)) anotherface = Part.Face(w) anotherpart = anotherface.extrude...

Awesome! Thanks a lot. If you want a static copy of only the shape : App.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Feature", "NAME").Shape = App.ActiveDocument.ORIGINAL_COMPOUND.Shape Just for the record, when I create a compound like this it's empty. Not sure if that's intended behaviour ...

Hi everyone, I'd like to make a copy of a compound taking advantage of the fact that I can move a 'sub-assembly' around without having to translate the individual shapes. Unfortunately I can't find anything suitable here: https://freecad.github.io/SourceDoc/d7/d7e/classPart_1_1Feature.html How is th...

It seems that the correct order is counterclokwise, as circle is drawn in counterclockwise order, this is not immediate to see as circle has start point and end point coincident, (is a "circular edge"), if you see Part,ArcOfCircle, you will see that the order is counterclockwise, ie a low...

That did the trick. Thanks a lot!

union = part.fuse(part2, Refine=True) union.Refine = True I think that all Properties which you see in the GUI's data and view tabs are available in this way. Both don't work for me. The first one throws: <class 'TypeError'>: fuse() takes no keyword arguments The second one: <class 'AttributeError'...

Just fyi: The information regarding Fedora is a bit outdated. In the last three stable versions of Fedora the corresponding FreeCAD versions are (see https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/freecad): Fedora 34 freecad-0.19.2 Fedora 33 freecad-0.19.2 Fedora 32 freecad-0.18.4 Fedora 31 freecad-0.18.4 Only ...
