helix go out of the allowed scope?

Post by jaessa »

Hello I am new ot FreeCAD and tried to follow the steps in this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl5HAbf-8do&t=1562

and I followed it in every single step, but when I am applying the last step which is the sweeping I get this message and no grove is created on the bolt, can anyone explain what this error means?

PartDesign::AdditivePipe: Link(s) to object(s) 'Helix' go out of the allowed scope 'AdditivePipe'. Instead, the linked object(s) reside within 'N/A'.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

I didn't wathc the video, because it seems to be a poor one. If you want to use the helix in a PartDesign body, you either need a PartDesign ShapeBinder or you have to use the Helix as BaseFeature.

If it is not for exercising but rather to get the job done: there is also a PartDesign SubtractiveHelix.

Following the link in the red banner above, can you provide a file and your full version info ?

Without the file :
* the helix touches itself ?
* coplanarity ?

Hi Chrisb,

Helix has this well-known problem with coplanarity.

Either select the helix before creating the body, or drag the helix into the body.
