Thanks, seems to be complaining about invalid shapes on multiple edges of your modified Body_out part. Am not really sure why, but I don't see these errors if I create a new Path job referencing a new copy of just the BaseFeature part. Just looking at your changes to this BaseFeature part. Are these...

Are you able to share a FreeCAD file with your new model? Just the model body should be enough..

I'll have another look at the Adaptive & Extensions python code, see if I can work out what it doesn't like.

Adaptive can't do this. This genuinely puzzles me, sure it can (I even attached a screenshot in the other thread).. It is something I've read from multiple people though, what am I missing? Perhaps it's a recent change? As to why the needed edges aren't pickable as extensions in the new model, I do...

Hi Timo, Yes, am using a weekly development AppImage from the downloads page. Although having said that, I don't have any problems using extensions with the Adaptive paths in 20.2 (example screenshot from your original file attached) - as long as the base geometry is a face rather than multiple edge...

Just for completeness, I also had a go at the other side. Created from the same defeatured model, just rotated 180 degrees around Y axis within the Job model properties.. An adaptive for the clearing, plus a profiling pass. Please note the profiling gives no thought to the work holding, and will cut...

I couldn't quite understand the change you made, should I learn coding and recompile the code or is it going to be published somewhere? No, I was just curious why 'use outline' was failing when the holes were present. Was more of an observation for the developers.. Regarding clearing the edges, I t...

I had a look at a more basic model, containing a pocket that reaches the edge of the part, and a through hole. For this test part, it could be machined correctly using an adaptive on the face of the pocket, with 'use outline' and the two external wires selected as extensions.. Taking another look at...

I had a little play with your file. For simplicity I removed everything except the first model, which I then copied and transformed (rotated 180 degrees to get to the lower faces). A couple of observations; Using adaptive for the larger faces, I was able to extend the necessary edges to clear them -...

When I open the Path workbench, there is no "Job" button. It is also not available in the Path menu. Afraid I can't recreate that behaviour here. It's greyed out before any file is opened, but enabled as soon as I create a new file, or import a .step file. (Tested with 20.1 and with a rec...

Why do you think it necessary to downgrade to faces? Why can't freecad just work with the solid model in the IGES? My initial thought process was just to get the important geometry of your design into a sketch. Am quite often importing SVG files as 2D geometry for machining, so 'Draft to Sketch' is...
