Re: Help making object solid

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Your file contains only a mesh, and even that seems to be empty. A mesh is always hollow. You have to convert it to a shape and then to a solid. There are hundreds of topics here about that.

I was afraid of that, but I saw a little chance.

In case it is affected by the config, I'm sure you have reset it. Did you also try using Software OpenGL? It also shouldn't affect this behaviour, but who knows? Apple said to restrict the OpenGL support.

Re: Trying to align 3 point symmetrically

There is an easier way to add such symmetry, which avoids the wrong selection sequence: select the line at the bottom plus the origin and apply the constraint. This doesn't avoid the redundancy. You may want to have a look into the (outdated) document in my footer.

Re: Path experimental on 0.21.2 fails: camotics `GLIBC_2.33' not found

Well, this might be debatable. ;) It wasn't clear to me that this indicates a config problem. I had raised 13206 , wich is solved since last week; I'm not sure, if it is already included in the current precompiled versions. If you would do Path/Cam a favor, you can - end all FreeCADs - remove or mo...

Agreed.

I will create a ticket, because in this very case unlike simple icons the 3D appearance has a meaning.

Until such a change will happen, use a Browser such as Brave.
