Can't get the 3d surface operation to work

Dear forum members, I've spent many hours trying to get the 3d surface operation to work with my FreeCAD 0.18 setup. Meanwhile I've managed to install OpenCAM lib and it seems to do something, however I can't seem to get any usable output. I've played a lot with different depth and sample interval s...

Re: Moving window with wall

So, if I got you right, window objects only observe their "host's" placement attribute (iff moveWithHost is enabled). Is there any workaround how I can fix them to a parametric geometry anyways? (It would be a really nice feature to place windows or doors based on a Sketch (in the floor pl...

Re: Can't edit a Wire in Draft or Arch workbench

Hello chrisb, First of all thanks for your quick answer! I usually stick with the OpenInventor MouseModel, but I've also tried to follow your suggestion. I've also tried the click-to-pick, release, click-to-place in every combination (with and without ctrl and shift), tried return, spacebar etc. Jus...

Can't edit a Wire in Draft or Arch workbench

Hello community, I'm almost sure, my question is a dumb one and the underlying problem is easy to solve... I've drawn a planar wire and now I'd like to modify it (moving/adding/removing corner points etc.) using the Edit tool. whiteboxes.png However, other than in any help/screenshot/tutorial video ...

Efficiently orienting and laying out parts for machining

Hello, I've designed an attachment part for a notebook holder that consists of four different parts (three of them are needed twice). screenshot1.png All parts should be milled out of a 15mm sheet of plywood. However I've got difficulties getting all the parts oriented and laid out on the XY plane f...

Re: Omitting one or more sides when contouring/profiling

It would be easier to help you if you can attach a FreeCAD file and tell us something about your FreeCAD version ;-) Sorry, I stupidly forgot to do so. I beg your pardon! My FreeCAD version is OS: Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.18.16131 ...

Omitting one or more sides when contouring/profiling

Hello, For a little furniture project I've designed a simple corner joint (e.g. for making box drawers etc.) cnc_joint_sidesselected.png and I'd like to create a simple toolpath to produce this joint on my CNC router. Profiling the whole part (as designed) from all four sides (front, left, back, rig...

Advanced utility to create shapes - "Face from edges" behaves weirdly or even crashes

Hello, I'm trying to make two curved surfaces from two sets of b-spline edges. To give you an idea of what the end result should (roughly) look like I've attached a screenshot created by other means. Screenshot_20191020_151731.png The right (smaller) part should look like a toe box of a shoe. I've d...

Re: Feature request: Array for pathes with dressup

I'd like to second this request as I just came across the same problem. I frequently need to machine a number of smaller parts out of a piece of plywood etc. Adding the holding tag dressup to the first instance of the part works fine, but then I can't make an array out of it... It would be so great ...
