Union failure

[sgrogan]

That is interesting it renders ok for you, as your signature says you use the nearly same FreeCAD 0.16 version as i tried for this as well.
Only difference is linux versus windows.

The file renders properly for me on Win. Using bejant's Refine shape for me, the fusion still fails. Using bejant's file and doing a ForceRecompute makes the fusion fail. Ubuntu is oce 0.17.1, Win is oce 0.17.0. Using a Win developer snapshot (OCCT 7.0) the model renders and the fusion succeeds without doing anything.

With the openscad referal you mean you loaded it in another program first prior to FreeCAD?

No, I just changed to the OpenSCAD WB to do the Refine Shapes. The Refine Shape in the OpenSCAD WB creates objects that are parametrically linked to the parent objects, so that if previous portions of the model are changed, then the Refine Shapes update. The Part WB > Refine Shape creates a dumb object that is frozen in time and does not update if a previous portion of the model is changed.

I missed that! thanks

PS it seems that OpenSCAD has some problems in windows

I don't need to do this, I do have the missing icons, I have OpenSCAD installed and the path set in FreeCAD Prefs. With OpenSCAD installed you can do boolean operations on meshes in FreeCAD.

please note that I have many releases of FC (0.15,0.16,0.17) not installed but just unzipped and OpenSCAD unzipped too (and configured in preferences)

FC 0.16 and 0.15 don't have this bug
