I started FreeCAD in Jan. 2020. At the time I had no Python experience or 3D CAD experience. The learning curve was quite steep a...

Thanks so much for the feedback and possible workarounds. I updated my 0.19 version of FreeCAD and it now works. The font that I used came from https://github.com/Jpub/JSWebCrawler/blob/master/ch04/06-output/H2GTRE.TTF I peeked at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz_064h3EEM to find the name of this ...

It came to me that the earth globe would be a fun project using data that I was already familiar with. The reason that I ac...
