Can you please test this in the most recent 0.17 version or attach the FreeCAD file here?

Please see my reply in Removing splitter failed.

Apparently it is following the same exact tutorial, along with the automatic refine options enabled. IMO the problem is bad modelling practice induced by the tutorial. In Sketch001 the arcs should *not* be created with the same radius as the face it is mapped to, to avoid such problems that are caused by the OCC kernel and are not fixable by the FreeCAD developers.

I will also add that this error does not happen if the auto refine options are disabled, which is default.

This should have been posted to the forum first before creating a ticket. IMO it is not a proper ticket and should be closed.

Can we reach out to the tutorial creator to alter it somehow ?

His blog has been dormant for years. Said tutorial is 5-year old. IIRC, automatic refine options didn't even exist back then. He may not even agree with me that it's poor technique. ;) (the blog is linked in the topic I linked)

In any case, how are we to hunt down every tutorial on the Internet (blogs, Youtube)... I can tell you there are many on Youtube with poor sketching and modelling technique. I try to leave comments on Youtube videos when I see them.

The fact is, some things need to be done in a specific way in FreeCAD to avoid some pitfalls caused by weaknesses of the OCC kernel or FreeCAD itself. This is just one of those examples. If tickets are created every time these problems happen, the tracker will quickly fill up...

I would like to see the simple tracker rule:

No discussion - no ticket.

I am surprised that from time to time newbies deliberately create tickets. If they cared to have a look in the forum they would have seen that even people with very much FreeCAD knowledge always discuss it here first.
