Re: [merged] PR #4118 The section cut feature
Thanks for this feature!
Something I would find really cool : being able to preselect the cut using the fast ``view>>clipping plane``, then press a button from it when I'm happy with the cut.

This is a bug in OCC. Because in your second example you gut at 0.000. When I change it too 0.001, the cut is correct.
For your other, more complex example. I don't get any cut at all. Also the trick I want to implement to put the solids to be cut into a Boolean Fragments instead of a compound fails. It seems the reason is also here OCC. Because hen I omit Body008 and Array002, then I get at least with Boolean Fragments a cut.
So unless someone knows how to cut it right using OCC, I have no idea how to improve the situation.
What is your OCC version? I have OFF 7.5.3 and maybe OCC 7.6 is better.

The limitation for now is that parts touching each other cannot be cut. I plan to work on an option to allow this. But since FreeCAD 0.20 reached the feature freeze, this will not happen soon.

Re: [merged] PR #4118 The section cut feature
Great wiki article, thanks for sharing it. However, the article says that only intersecting parts are not cut. Shouldn’t it say that touching parts (with zero clearance) are not cut too ? In my example, there were no interferences, at least intentional ones. Unless even minimal penetration due to inaccuracy is sufficient for the cut to not work.uwestoehr wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 5:10 am Here is a description of the feature: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Part_SectionCut
Also, if it’s a bug in OCC then maybe we could report it to let the OCC devs know. There’s a chance that they will fix it in the future.

The edges remain if you omit refining.
