You might want to update to the latest version here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/download/0.18/FreeCAD-0.18.16093.690774c-WIN-x64-RC4-installer.exe and then watch some basic tutorial videos on the Part Design Work Bench. Here is a link to some of them: https://www.youtube.com/channel...

Thank you Kisolre! That's it. Too many little settings on commands that I do not know (yet).

Your FreeCAD version is very outdated. Please retry with the current 0.18. Here it works out of the box. I downloaded the latest osx version on my mac at home and it still has the same issue as described above. I will download the latest win version tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. thanks...

Yes, chrisB, that is why I’m new at this. In my first post at the top, that’s what I realized.

Something like that should work : for obj in Gui.ActiveDocument.Document.Objects: if obj.TypeId == 'Sketcher::SketchObject': # remove this line to see expressions for all objects print str(obj.Label) + " : " + str(obj.ExpressionEngine) HTH Too much information in the print output, but sti...

Both answers fix the rendering but I cannot seem to make the NotOk Cone into a "solid"object that I can perform boolean operations with...for example, thin it with a 'thickness' operation from the bottom circular face. I've tried the 'refine', 'make solid from face', 'make solid from shell...

At home, if I change "Create face = Faulse
the Loft not-OK works

Who would have known! Yes, it does work. It does not make sense to me but Thank you!

I have a file with over 20 expressions (sketch.constraint variables), and ideally I would like to document them so I understand my fcad drawing in the future. I should have done it using the spreadsheet in the first place but I didn't. :x I do not know python (yet) but if someone has a quick code sn...

This should be simple. I was trying to make an oblique cone and realized I was having similar problems to this earlier thread https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=20968 This earlier thread mentions that the circles may not be closed but MINE are (I'm pretty sure). I have attached my FCAD fil...

You mean that it won't work anymore for any model, not only for one single FCStd document? [/quote] Ok. I rechecked things and the problem is only that one fcad file. Something in that file caused dot.exe to crash. I made some changes to that file and refreshed things, and now it works. Appreciate ...
