Re: A simple question

Every once in a while I post this write-up I did when I started. Maybe it will help you.

I tried to watch but I'm thinking I will need a universal translator for that one. :)

Re: Error Messages

You have issues with your sketch. Sometimes they can be hard to find. Search up validate sketch. If you can't figure it out then post back. I fixed mine and it works great. Here is a clue( see pic). The cutout at 1:00 and 2:00 position have double lines.

Re: [Bug?] Thickness renumbers faces on recompute

I think this a good example to keep track of, I tried my best fixes and nothing works. I tried using a double sketch and lofting a cube which can be more stable and I tried 0.19( not the latest version), that failed also.

Re: [Bug?] Thickness renumbers faces on recompute

Re: Feature request: 2D sketch in 3D view

It's in Sketcher. Looks similar to the CreateSketch icon.
There it is! That is perfect. Thanks, great idea. Feature request #3.

Re: Feature request: 2D sketch in 3D view

You mean sketcher should have something like "center selected element in 3D view"? This could indeed be helpful. There is an icon for "View sketch perpendicular to sketch plane". This could become a toggle between its current function and going back to the previous view. Maybe &...

Re: trouble combining pads

This time I created a midplane solid. You can see what solid is being added to the cutout. This is additive padding, it is adding material to the bottom in the shape you want. Good luck.

You can add a sketch to another face and pad that thru the solid.

Re: Loft but not through centers of sketches

Maybe this will help, I copied your sketches into a new file.
