Adding a video to show how items get populated in the tree, this shows how there is no difference in ordering. First I create a Body, the XY plane is set to a default so I then select from the dialog what feature I want (a Pad), notice that the sketch is created and opened. There is no feature creat...

I had understood this tool to be only a helper for creating a feature That's correct. The only differences will be in the initial feature creation. After feature creation the macro has nothing to do so all editing is standard PartDesign. The Gui difference: I prompt the user to select the feature t...

=drmacro There are those who consider it "inefficient"...so, maybe not. 8-) drmacro, do you think it's inefficient or are you pulling my chain? Every step to make a feature is less steps using the macro but the interface is also important. Maybe in comparing with PartDesign I have stepped...

I suppose efficiency is a relative term. I know that clicking the sketch icon, clicking the plane, then clicking OK is a waste of my time, over and over I do it.... Then when I'm done I need to select a feature, then go and select a Map mode, another 4 or 5 mouse clicks. I do all this in 2 or 3 mous...

I have my workbench class and and in it I have functions to build a widget and toolbars. I understand that every time I enter my workbench the Init will fire so I can do things on entry. My question has two parts 1) Do I need to rebuild my toolbars every time I enter my workbench 2) how do I control...

I get a full page of geometry errors on the tank.

I could do a lot to show different approaches but not those errors.

Edit: The OP really didn't even say what they wanted. Bigger, taller, curved. Offset in what?

I agree, it would take a couple hundred words to describe the events. Maybe the next person that works on this can explore creating a save function on the panels. I use dual monitors. I got stuck a couple times using the dev. version and found that if I opened 0.21 I could get back to a normal scree...

obelisk79 There's no need to think of this in terms of absolutes. I see most decisions made for FreeCAD Master to lean to the professional, I don't think there will be much interest. I could be wrong. One of the most important things to me using CAD is that I can forget what I did during my 8 hours...

IMO, direct modeling for CAD doesn't make since, it's fine for graphic editing programs but not CAD. The goal of CAD is to associate the solids to drawings and the designer is responsible to keep those two things in lock-step. You can waste money and time not mention your job and reputation if the w...

I see that you changed the support plane to be XZ as opposed to the face of the object. I see now One thing I noticed about Loft is just because the sketch edges are straight between sketches doesn't mean Loft will create planar faces. So on the Holder, you can sketch on that flat face and create a...
