Re: FreeCAD-AppImages do not run under opensuse Tumbleweed (invalid magic cookies on tumbleweed)

Short status for Suse 15.3 (Release candidate) and the 0.19 appimage: Same problem. But easy to solve: Just allow the screen access via a

xhost +

in a terminal. After this, all works fine. Just funny that some appimage packages have this problem and some (older ones) not...

Re: Reconstruction of a historic racing boat

Indeed, I did measure directly on the boat (with a yardstick) as much as I could, corrected the plan after the measurements (no much correction was needed) and added much details of construction which was not seen in the point cloud. For more (or more exact) measurement than I did You would have to ...

Re: Reconstruction of a historic racing boat

To the workflow: In my opinion, the really tricky part is to get a satisfying good set of pictures of the object. I don`t know how often I was in the museum to get it - I have a annual entry card :lol: It helps if You put some marks like flayer and "postits" on the deck, on the floor and s...

Re: FC v0.17dev: Part Design Next Usecases and Best practices

Thanks, this helps! Could you post your FreeCAD data anyway, as requested in the forum rules (link in pinkish/reddish box at the top)? I'd like to know what's your Linux distro (it looks like OpenSUSE but I'm not sure). Sorry, my mistake: OS: "openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin) (x86_64)" Word size ...

Re: FC v0.17dev: Part Design Next Usecases and Best practices

Does lofting really work in the new workbench already? If I start lofting with the version 0.17R9747 from 20.01.2017 (appimage for linux offered on the download page) I ket the following dialog: beispiel2.jpg That seems quite similar to the dialog of sweeping. The dialog for lofting should allow to ...

Re: FC v0.17dev: Part Design Next Usecases and Best practices

Re: 2 versions of freecad (0.16 and 0.17-nightly) on one linux box?

Thanks for the help - it compiles now against libCoin80. I had "old" header files in my include path, so it was an original pebkac of me (problem exists between keyboard and chair) ;)

2 versions of freecad (0.16 and 0.17-nightly) on one linux box?

Hi, I want to have the FreeCad releases 0.16 and 0.17 on one linux machine (Suse). There is the actual nightly build of 0.17 available as package, I could build the released version of 0.16 myself - worked all fine as long as both versions used the same version of libCoin and Pivy. But now FreeCad 0...
