These tutorials are not mine, but they are really good way of jump starting a newbie into creating python based macros in freecad. The entire YouTube channel, MangoJelly Solutions, seems to be recent and is made up of other very useful freecad tips and tricks. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWuy...

I couldn’t agree more. Thank you. I read your patient replies all time and very grateful for your insight.

Switch it, so that the AdditivePipe comes first and the Pocket second, then the mirror will have the pocket too. WOW! Th...

in part design, your model must be a single contiguous solid. the result of the transform would result in multiple soilds, so it fails. Thank you but I am mirroring it on the YZ_Plane, so technically the mirrored part still connects to the original solid. Also I tried mirroring it around the XY_Pla...
