I am creating an “as-built” model of my house for an architect to use. To do so I make a number of sketches as per the recommendation of: https://www.freecad.info/index.php/2020 ... l-command/ (multiple small sketches avoiding the topology rename issue)
I can create a the wall just fine, and the model tree looks clean. (no icon markers, and report view empty)
I toggle visibility OFF on all but the desired wall (not sure if visibility also removes it from the selection process)
I then in the BIM or Arch workbench, select a face for a window, set the working plane to that face (with grid on) … and then add a window. Things seem to go fine but the model tree now has red exclamation marks and this appears in the report view. (Note: the window is being inserted into a wall created by object “Sketch” (I assume Sketch000 by convention)
Code: Select all
13:52:51 Choose a face on an existing object or select a preset
13:53:03 Sketcher constraint number 1 is malformed!
13:53:03 Sketch Sketch001 has malformed constraints!

1) Sketch001 should not even be involved with the window
2) Constraint 1 in sketch001 is a point on object (the object referenced happens to be external geometry, that is in fact part of wall getting the window …. crud is this a topology issue again?)
Where do I go from here? Is this a bug report? (I can make the file available)
Am I better of trying the "realthunder" branch which supposedly has the topology issue resolved
I really hope this is not a topology issue, I REALLY like sketches.
